Sensible Swaps for High-Fat Holiday Foods
It's easy when the party's at your place, but there are so many get-togethers at other locations throughout the year where you have little to no say in what's served. You can help contribute to the party (and your health) by offering to bring something to the dinner. Make sure the "something" is a tasty and healthy dish everyone can enjoy. Even at traditional holiday dinners, you can usually find one or two things (like salad and fruit) that are better choices than the rest. Focus on those if you can.
Don't stress out. Play it by ear. Relax, mingle, and enjoy the people, the music, and the fun. There's more to the holidays than food, but with these healthy holiday tips you can have a low-fat holiday dinner and enjoy it too!
