Healthy Holiday Cheat Sheet
The holidays are magical—a time for family, friends, laughter, and cherished memories. But let’s be real: they’re also a minefield of overindulgence, sluggish energy, and that “Why did I do this to myself?” moment when January rolls around.
Here’s the truth: you don’t have to sacrifice your health to enjoy the season.
You can embrace the festivities and kickstart your New Year on the right foot. No waiting for resolutions—why not start now?
Here are my top tips to feel amazing, stay on track, and still savor the holidays:
1. Prioritize Protein Power
Protein is your secret weapon! It keeps you full longer, curbs cravings, and leaves less room for sugar-laden treats. So, load up on turkey, chicken, beans, or tofu at holiday meals. Bonus: you’ll have more energy to keep up with the festivities!
2. Don’t Show Up Hungry
Heading to a party or dinner? Eat a snack rich in protein and healthy fats before you leave. A handful of almonds, some Greek yogurt, or a boiled egg can save you from overloading your plate. Showing up hungry = a recipe for overindulgence.
3. Move More, Feel Great
Think you don’t have time to exercise? Think again! A few squats while brushing your teeth, push-ups during a TV commercial, or a quick walk with family can make a difference. Aim for at least 12,000 steps a day—every step counts toward revving up your metabolism! Here’s a few videos to get you going.
4. Hydrate Like a Pro
Water isn’t just for staying hydrated—it’s a natural fat-burner, too! Drinking plenty of water will help you feel fuller, flush out toxins, and even curb your sweet tooth. Before reaching for pie, drink a tall glass of water—you might be surprised how much less you want.
5. Make Smart Sugar Choices
Sugar, flour, dairy, and alcohol all metabolize as sugar—yikes! Choose wisely. If you want the pie, skip the wine. Craving the cream sauce? Pass on dessert. Stick to one indulgence per meal and enjoy it guilt-free!
Why Not Start January Feeling Your Best?
Overindulgence isn’t worth it. It drains your energy, packs on extra weight, and leaves you playing catch-up come January. But you don’t have to fall into that trap! This year, take charge of your health while enjoying the celebrations.
By making small, mindful choices, you’ll wake up on January 3rd feeling better than ever. Imagine starting the year energized, confident, and proud of yourself—not stuck in a cycle of regret.
The holidays don’t have to derail your progress—they can inspire it! Treat your health like the ultimate gift, and enjoy the season to its fullest, guilt-free.
Here’s to a holiday season that leaves you glowing, inside and out! 🌟
