Health Tip: Don't Overeat During the Holidays
(HealthDay News) -- It's easy to eat large portions and indulgent dishes during holiday feasts. But you can still enjoy the holidays without stuffing yourself.
The University of California Los Angeles offers these suggestions:
Focus on friends, family, fun and conversation, instead of food. Find out which foods will be available, and plan what you will eat. Bring a healthy dish to share. Include small tastes of your favorite goodies. Don't skip meals. Eat a healthy snack before the big feast so you're not starving. Don't fill up on appetizers and alcohol. When you feel full after the meal, leave the table. Have small portions, and savor each bite by eating slowly.-- Diana Kohnle
