\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t \t\"The \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

If there\u2019s ever a time to indulge, it\u2019s the holiday season. The nonstop family gatherings, workplace celebrations, and get-togethers with friends certainly provide ample temptations in the form of festive treats. And while it\u2019s fine to nibble on something sweet at the occasional soiree, when you make a habit of it, you could enter the new year carrying some additional weight. Here\u2019s how to avoid going overboard with the holiday snacks.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Preemptively eat a healthy snack.
    <\/strong>When you grab a healthy snack before you head out to a holiday party, you won\u2019t be ravenous by the time you show up. This will make it easier to stay away from the festive spread, or at least to keep yourself from overdoing it. So nibble on some fruit or veggies the next time you\u2019re getting ready for a holiday party.<\/li>\n
  2. BYO noshes.
    <\/strong>If you don\u2019t think pre-gaming with healthy snacks will be enough to keep you away from the buffet table, here\u2019s another way to avoid temptation: bring your own bites. Instead of chowing down on holiday cookies, chips, and other unhealthy snacks, bring along veggies and hummus, fruit and yogurt, or low-fat cheese and whole-wheat crackers to share with the crowd. Other health-minded partygoers will probably thank you!<\/li>\n
  3. Focus on balanced snacks.
    <\/strong>If you do intend to partake in the provided nibbles at a holiday bash, make smarter selections. Opt for a healthy balance of protein and carbohydrates, ideally with a small amount of fat. This combination will help to keep you full and avoid overeating.<\/li>\n
  4. Sip on tea or coffee.
    <\/strong>When you\u2019re at the family holiday party, do you devour snacks because you\u2019re actually hungry, or simply because they\u2019re sitting on the table next to you? Many people will absentmindedly snack just for something to do. Distract yourself with a hot cup of peppermint tea or black coffee instead. Sipping on the warming beverage will keep your hands busy, but it won\u2019t add any calories to your daily intake.<\/li>\n
  5. Chew gum.
    <\/strong>Another way to distract yourself from the snack spread is to chew gum. Most gums contain only a few calories, and they help to trick your brain into thinking you\u2019re snacking freely. If you\u2019re not actually hungry, just looking for a way to keep your teeth busy, pop a stick of gum instead of snacks.<\/li>\n
  6. Keep treats out of sight, out of mind.
    <\/strong>When you go to a party hosted by someone else, you don\u2019t have control over the menu. That\u2019s when the previous tips may come in handy. But when it comes to your own home, you can choose what you bring into it\u2014and how you display (or don\u2019t display) holiday treats. Try to avoid bringing candy, cookies, and other desserts into your apartment altogether. When you can\u2019t, at least keep them stowed away in the cabinet and showcase fruit and other healthy snacks on the counter. This makes it more likely that you\u2019ll choose a light and healthy bite over a calorie-dense treat.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/article><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
