NUTRITIONIST EXPLAINS WHY YOU SHOULD AVOID SHAMING OR GUILTING YOURSELF OVER HOLIDAY MEALS
The holiday season can run your nutrition and fitness goals off-course. The candies, pies, cakes, breads, and booze are tough to turn down during those big family meals and celebrations. Also, avoid shaming or guilting yourself over food. Positivity is a more successful motivator. When it comes to alcohol, think about adding mocktails to your menu. Ensure you're eating enough fiber and protein, and drink plenty of water to avoid painful hangovers. For the family chefs, Lupoli also suggested swapping out some unhealthy ingredients for better options in traditional dishes. Adding quinoa to a salad will increase its nutritional content. Using skim milk instead of whole milk can cut down on calories, and avocado is a healthier oil to cook with than seed oils.DR.
