Sidestep Holiday Food Traps Ah, the holidays! The parties, the presents... the packed-on pounds. Its not just socializing that does your diet in during the festive months: Its also the circadian rhythms of the season. Were programmed to eat more because our ancestors generally had less food in the winter. Now weve got plenty, but were still stuck in that feast or famine mode. But dont despair (or run out and buy elastic-waist pants): Weve identified the some of the biggest seasonal threats to your waistline and gathered expert advice on how to avoid them. Check back to see more this week. Trap 1: Family Feasts While its always great to see Aunt Betty, it might not be so great to eat her butter-laden food. Watching calories around the holidays is tough because food ties you to you family and friends. Strategic sidestep: Contribute a healthful dish (roasted vegetables, whole-grain bread, a lean cut of meat) to your clans holiday spread, or offer to cook at least one meal if youre visiting for more than a few days. When you cant control the menu, practice diplomacy. Dont throw a hissy fit over the lack of fruits and veggies, but stand firm when Grandma tries to force-feed you that extra helping of greasy mac and cheese. Also, be a good guest and burn some serious calories by helping to clear the table, pitching in with household chores or running errands — anything to avoid sitting and nibbling. #HealthyHolidays #HealthypartyFood #HealthyAppetizers #LapBandTips #WeightLossTips Dr. Kuri & Associates The number #1 choice for Lap- Band Surgery youtu.be/Yn6QM0Zum-4 To learn more about the Lap-Band® and Dr. Kuri, please contact us.
