Make Sure You Watch Your Portion Sizes
The holidays are an especially dangerous time of year when it comes to portion control – suddenly, that perfect helping of mashed potatoes and stuffing turns into an epic feast. But don’t get out of hand; if you’re used to eating a normal-sized dinner, don’t get ambitious and heap your plate high with holiday favorites. It’s also important to be realistic about how many treats you are going to consume – two pieces of the pie are certainly enjoyable, but it’s a good idea to stick to having only one. Eating in moderation during the holiday season will help keep your stomach content and waistline trim!
