A Dietitian’s Advice for Stress-Free Holiday Eating — How to Be a Grown-Up, Holiday Edition

This time of year, with all the parties and the punches and the cookies, so many websites and magazine articles tell us how to avoid this and deny ourselves that. I saw a couple blog posts recently recommending things like “Weigh yourself every day!” or “Wear your tightest clothes so you will be uncomfortable and won’t eat much!” or “Only make food you hate!”

So, how do you enjoy the holidays in a way that embraces the deliciousness of the season, but also leaves you feeling good, both physically and mentally? How can the holiday eating experience be joyful, not stressful?
