How to Avoid Holiday Weight Gain

It's almost that time of year again... the start of the holiday feast! While there are so many choices to select at the dinner table, by following a few simple tips, you can eat your feast without worrying about your weight.

1. If you would like to sample everything, set limits. Try using a smaller dinner plate (or even a salad plate) and try not to go back for a second helping.

2. Only 1 roll please. If you must have a roll to build those turkey or ham rolls, limit yourself to one. This is especially important if you are also eating potatoes or pasta as one of your sides.

3. Take advantage of the cooler weather and take a stroll! Many people should be putting up their holiday lights and an evening walk it a great time to take in the sights while getting in a brisk walk.

Stay tuned for more healthy living tips.
