Ready or not, the holidays are here. While not the best time to start a diet, being prepared with a plan to eat sensibly goes a long way. Don’t miss this month’s free nutrition program “Balancing Sweets and Treats During the Holidays.” Get in touch with some helpful meal planning tips as the mercury dips and the snow starts to fall. When meal planning, it is important not only to consider what you are eating, but portion sizes as well. Become serving-size savvy with some simple visual cues to help identify healthy portions to meet your nutritional needs.
As the year comes to an end, it is worth mentioning that National Comfort Food Day is celebrated on December 5th. Get creative with some of those tried-and-true recipes. While delicious and soothing, some of your special childhood food memories may be giant calorie bombs. Explore ways to make some healthful tweaks to your favorite dishes that will bring delight to your palate and a smile to your face, without all the extra calories and fat.
As always, enjoy all the food the season has to offer. Have a happy and healthy December. All the best in the new year.
