The holidays are a time to celebrate, give thanks,
and reflect. They are also a time to pay special
attention to your health. Don’t try to lose weight
during the holidays — this may be a self-defeating
goal. Instead, strive to maintain your weight by
balancing party eating with other meals. Eat small,
lower-calorie meals during the day so you can
enjoy celebration foods later without overdoing
your total calorie intake.
