Stuffing and casseroles and freshly baked bread &#8212; it&#8217;s all delicious, but not a great variety of nutrients. Make sure you\u2019re eating enough protein &amp; fiber with every meal, which will help you feel fuller for longer. Fill your plate with those garlicky green beans and other nutritious veggies you love, and take small tastes of only your favorite carb-filled choices and simply skip any of them that you aren\u2019t head-over\u00a0heels for. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">If you don&#8217;t already, batch cook your meals at home during this busy season.\u00a0\u00a0Seek out some healthy home-made freezer meals you can stock up on, cook large quantities of healthy soups or stews to freeze, and think about your meals for the week ahead during the weekend so you can be prepared with healthy foods ready and waiting for you. This will take an unbelievable amount of stress off of your shoulders, and you&#8217;ll be well equipped with nutritious meals during the week.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Another way I like to set myself up for success is making sure I exercise the\u00a0day of a holiday event. Squeezing in some sort of exercise the day of a holiday party will put you on the right track. Even if it&#8217;s a long walk around the block or a 15-minute jog, you&#8217;ll be glad you did it. You&#8217;ll be grateful for that boost of energy, too!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Here&#8217;s to a Fit and Festive Holiday Season to you and yours&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">WE WOULD LOVE TO BE PART OF YOUR JOURNEY:<\/span><\/h2>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">CALL: (502) 209-7955 OR EMAIL:\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:gretchen@wholeselfnutrition.com\"><u>GRETCHEN@WHOLESELFNUTRITION.COM<\/u><\/a><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Most holiday meals are carb overloads.
