Holiday Calorie Control Tip #3
“Stolen water is refreshing; food eaten in secret tastes the best!” – Proverbs 9:17
So far we’ve talked about creating a PLAN to control your calorie intake during the holidays. And part of that plan was really watching your alcohol intake because it can lead to bad eating decisions. Now let’s talk more about enjoyment.
Yes, you CAN enjoy your favorite foods. But enjoy them by savoring them, not devouring them. Here are a few tips to keep in mind for all the holiday parties and activities you may attend from now through New Year’s.
- Eat something before you head to a holiday party – it will help you eat less when you’re there
- Drink water as soon as you arrive and then wait 10-15 minutes before eating – the water will help you feel full
- And most importanlty, CHEW your food slowly – chew 20-30 times before swallowing
It might not seem it, but those are some BIG TIME tips.
Enjoy your favorites by taking your time eating them. That may mean finding a quiet space to eat when at a loud party. But it will be worth the little bit of extra effort.
And it’s going to take about 20 minutes for your stomach to signal your brain that you are full. So take your time. Enjoy every bite with zero guilt.
Again, this might seem too simple, but it’s not. It really can be this easy if you stay focused on your plan.
