Get Holiday Food Smart
December 24, 2009
Don’t skip meals — and eat sensibly. Don’t “save calories” to prep for a disastrous meal. You might just end up gorging on crappy foods because you’re starving.
Eat high-fiber foods before the party. Fiber helps you to feel full. Try low-calorie vegetables, salad fruit or oatmeal.
Eat small amounts of the foods you love. Don’t deprive yourself. Eat a little bit of what you love and choose wisely. Pick one thing you really want to enjoy — then fill up on good stuff like fruits and veggies.
Don’t hang around the buffet. Out of sight, out of mind. Get your food and back away.
Pace yourself. You know your body doesn’t always feel full right away. Slow down. Really chew your food. Set your fork down between bites and take sips of water.

- Got my lucky Giants sweatshirt on. Bill's wearing his lucky Alfred Hitchcock tee, brown zip up and Merrell sweatband.
- Whenever I'm super sore, I make my husband undress me. It's not sexy by any means.
- Enjoying Dim Sum with my husband. Giants SuperBowl tradition!
- Enjoyed my Crossfit workout with friends! Totally shin planted on box jumps and may have punctured an ovary, but it's all good! :)
