FOX News: Healthier Holiday Recipes

December 24, 2019

This time of year we are surrounded by heavier foods, we’re less active, and not sleeping as much and sort of out of routine so it is easy to fall off track when it comes to healthy eating. Today on FOX Business, I shared healthy holiday eating tips and three recipes.

It is possible to enjoy holiday food without packing on the pounds when you do it mindfully. At holiday gatherings, focus on eating what you love and leaving what you like. Don’t try to “save calories” by skipping meals before a holiday feast which studies show can lead to overeating. Finally, use salad plates instead of entree plates for easy portion control and think veggies and lean protein first which will satiate you without filling you up and help prevent you from overdoing it on the more decadent options.

Catch the segment on FOXBusiness.com and recipes below!
