Don’t Forget to Exercise
Even with a busy schedule full of working, parenting
and socializing, it is still important to make time for
physical activity.
“Make it a tradition to go for a walk after dinner,” says
registered dietitian nutritionist and Academy spokesperson
Toby Smithson. “It’s a great time to create memories, share in
conversation and sneak in exercise.”
Don’t Overdo the Buffet
At buffet-style gatherings, it is easy to overeat and
many make the mistake of taking second and third
helpings. However, before you return to the buffet table,
note that it takes about 20 minutes for your stomach to
tell your brain you are full.
To avoid overeating, Mangieri recommends loading your
party plate with lean protein and veggies. “But that poses a
problem at many parties because treats and snacks are often
all that fill the countertops. Stay in control by taking your own
healthy protein options with you such as turkey meatballs,
chicken skewers or a shrimp cocktail platter,” says Mangieri.
Don’t Splurge on Sweets
“It is okay to save room for dessert, but try to choose
only one splurge item,” recommends Smithson. “These
sweet treats can stick to your waistline and the added
sugar may make you crash later.” Avoid overdoing it on
dessert and limit sugary beverages.
Use these expert tips to maintain a healthful eating plan,
even in the face of big feasts, dessert and special occasions.
