HEALTHY HOLIDAY PLATES

It seems that we're invited to a party, dinner or get-together every other night in the weeks leading up to and during the holidays. Unfortunately, most of the dishes that are brought along are not exactly healthy. Eating out has always been a bit of a struggle for me as there are many foods that I don't do well with and feel yuck after. We all tend to overindulge during the holidays season, tempted by all the unhealthy treats around. But to be honest with you, I get tired of all the rich and fattening foods rather quickly and welcome a healthy, fresh alternative. 

This is your year to shine with that healthy dish the next time you are asked to bring something to a holiday party. Here are a few ideas to get you started.

5 TIPS TO AVOID HOLIDAY WEIGHT GAIN

Do you believe the stories about how much weight people put on during the holidays? In a recent study conducted by The National Institute of Health, the researchers discovered that, in reality, most people tend to only put on just under one pound. However, a person who is already overweight will average a whopping 5 pounds extra after the last festive meal! 

Unfortunately, its not all good news, even for those who put on the minimum because the study also shows that we all tend to keep the pounds we put on. In other words, over ten years, those not-so- much pounds, could lead someone to being overweight. 

So, what can we do in order to keep those extra pounds off? Here's a few tips to get you through the holidays.
