5 Simple Ways to Master Portion Control for the Holidays
A few extra holiday pounds can stick around, and with vacations and celebrations, these small gains add up over time and impact your long-term health. Stay ahead with these tips and a solid strategy!
The holidays are right around the corner, and if your calendar looks anything like mine, it’s already filling up with family gatherings, work dinners, and festive events. And let’s not forget the treats! From Halloween candy to holiday cookie swaps, it can feel like there’s something sweet around every corner.
Enjoying some of these fun foods is totally fine—it’s part of the joy of the season! But without an action plan, those little bites here and there can add up. Many people find that gaining just 5 pounds during the holidays can be tough to shake off. The reality is, that most never get rid of it, and with other vacations and holidays, the weight gain keeps adding up. This can lead to long-term impacts on your health. That’s why it’s important to get ahead of things and approach the holiday season with mindfulness to keep feeling your best.
In this post, we’re sharing 5 simple, actionable tips to help with portion control so you can enjoy all the fun and stay on track with your health goals. Whether it’s a work event or a family dinner, having a strategy to maintain weight, rather than gain, will make all the difference. I like to remind clients that maintaining your weight is a great goal for the season.
