MERRY NUTRISH-MISH! BY Michelle Blum

Have a Ho-Ho Holiday Without Gaining Weight! People often ask me what I eat on a holiday and my answer is: “Whatever I want!” It is possible to celebrate the holiday season and enjoy your favorite foods without packing on pounds. A holiday is an appropriate time to indulge, but that doesn’t mean you should try and eat as much as humanly possible in one day. Loosening the reins on your appetite for a few hours won’t do any harm, but once the day is over, that’s it! Allowing yourself to indulge in your favorite treats and then getting right back on track is an important skill to master. So enjoy yourself during the holiday celebration, but after it’s over, get the leftovers and goodies out of the house. They no longer serve a purpose other than packing on extra pounds. (And, don’t bring them to work, they can do just as much damage in the office!)

Long Island “Nutritionista” Michelle Blum

The holiday’s will bring many food challenges, but embrace them don’t avoid them! Here are a few tips that will make the celebration special while keeping the sugar plums dancing in your head, and not on your hips!
