Don’t let the holidays hinder your progress! Use these tips and recipes to navigate your way through the all of the temptations.

Here are our favourite tips:

• Keep a food journal to keep yourself accountable

• Don’t skip meals throughout the day. We all know how easy it is to inhale too much food when you are hungry… plus no one likes to be hangry

• Drink only water between meals

• Keep the “squishy carbs” to a minimum (breads, rice, pasta, white potatoes)

• Grab a small plate when dishing up for supper. Our brains usually overpower our stomachs and we stop eating when our plate is empty not when our belly’s are full

• Fill up your plate with the protein first, then veggies or fruits, fill remaining space with small amounts of extras

• Keep your hands occupied so you don’t mindlessly grab a snack, or 7
