Holiday Eating: Party Hearty Without Putting on the Pounds!

By: Marsha J. Hudnall, MS, RD, CD
The holidays are definitely a special time of year. These days,
however, many women wonder whether "special" means happy -- or
stressful. Do you know anyone who doesn't feel more stress
during the holiday season? One thing is for sure: Stress is a
six-letter word that can spell added trouble for many women who
struggle with food, eating and weight.
A national survey of women conducted earlier this year revealed
that women see stress and lack of energy as two of their top
health issues. But here's where it gets interesting: Women were
twice as likely as men to snack as a way of dealing with stress!
So how do you enjoy the famous holiday party time that seems to
start with coffee breaks at work or weekend brunches and last
through dessert parties late in the evening without overdoing on
all those wonderful foods? Here's a list of ideas to consider
that can help reduce holiday stress, boost energy and maximize
your ability to make smart choices to support you in your
efforts to feel well and stay healthy.
Keep It Simple
The absolute first "must" for enjoying your holidays is to keep
it simple. Be realistic in what you want to accomplish?and what
you expect others to accomplish, too. Discuss holiday plans with
family and friends. Consider paring down your "to do" list, and
get a commitment from others to share in the extra holiday tasks
that create extra fun for everyone.
Feed Yourself Well
A party later in the evening doesn't mean skimping on food
during the day. All that will do is set you up for overeating
because you get too hungry. Instead, eat regular, balanced meals
and snacks that include grains/starchy vegetables, protein foods
and fruits and/or vegetables every 3-5 hours when you are
hungry, and stopping when you are satisfied.
Likewise, if you overdo it at one meal or party (and who doesn't
on occasion?), don't try to "make up" for it at your next meals.
Go back to your regular eating plan as described above.
Dance the Night Away!
Physical activity may provide the biggest boost to your ability
to cope during the holidays. Not only is it a natural outlet for
tension (and consequently another way to cope), physical
activity boosts our energy level and our motivation to keep
going.
Be creative! Break out of your mold by adding the opportunities
of the holiday season, such as dancing, skating, sledding,
skiing, snowshoeing, caroling (all that walking)?even trimming
the tree (there's a lot of stretching there). Make fun physical
activity the primary focus of your parties, instead of depending
on the food to make or break it.
Realistically, many people find that physical activity early in
the day is the best way to make it happen. A walk after
breakfast is one of the best strategies for boostin....[MORE]
