What To Do About Holiday Menu’s
Posted: October 31st, 2011 | Author: Dr. Bill Stillwell | No Comments »A number of people have written in about staying on track with
their diet during the holiday season. They want to know if I have
any special advice about how to handle the abundance of food
that accompanies this time of year.
Here’s how I handle things. Thanksgiving and Christmas are
free days. I don’t try to not eat the good stuff and that includes
dessert. I don’t pass on the mashed potatoes, stuffing, gravy,
pumpkin cheesecake, or any other goodies that might be on the
menu. If I’m going to be a guest at someone else’s home, I leave
all my dietary rules at home. I’ve seen the unhappy results when
someone tries to impose their food rules where they don’t belong,
which is anywhere, except your own home.
If you’re doing a good job with your lifestyle choices (behaving
about 90% of the time), then it really doesn’t matter what you eat
on a few holidays, during the year. Go ahead and enjoy yourself
and eat what’s in front of you. You’ll feel better and so will everyone
around you.
You can limit your portion sizes. Nobody is going to force you
to eat a 20 ounce portion of prime rib and a 50 count baked
potato, with butter and sour cream. Nobody says you have to
eat multiple plates and a full portion of every dessert. You can
crowd your plate with vegetables, which is a trick I use, so I don’t
overdo the meats, or whatever the protein portion happens to be.
The key is to enjoy yourself and then, get a little more exercise that
day, or the day after. Your body will spring back from a touch of
overeating very quickly, and sometimes, you’ll just continue to lose
weight, without missing a step.
You can also take an extra dose of my Powerhouse Omega Formula,
to help process any extra food you may have indulged in.
But above all…remember that holidays are a time to have fun and
leave our troubles behind for a spell. The Food Police shouldn’t get
a seat at the table.
Come join thousands of highly satisfied customers.
With my best wishes for your optimum health,
Dr. Bill
