Three Key Words to Remember with the Holidays: Variety, Moderation, and Balance!

Holiday season can haves its ups and its downs. Spending time with family and friends is supposed to be a joyous time, but if your trying to lose weight, it can also be a nightmare due to all the yummy holiday treats. Don’t let food and festivities stress you out this year! Instead, take a deep breath, and think of these three little words: variety, moderation, and balance!

By this we mean:

Eat a variety of foods- fruits, vegetables, grains, lean proteins, and lowfat dairy or dairy alternatives.

Eat in moderation- you can have your cake and enjoy it too…just don’t have too much cake! Try slowing down, savoring the flavor, and taking smaller portions to begin with.

Eat in balance- don’t pile on the potatoes and skip on the protein. Instead eat a balanced diet with food from all the food groups. Try to incorporate atleast 3 different food groups during meals, and 1 to 2 for snacks.

For more information and a “pep” talk, check out this link below from the Journal of Sentinel, and keep your worries away!

Egg yolk consumption and carotid plaque….

Here’s the “study” that came out that caused all the hubbub about egg yolks and CAD. They did not ask the participants about any other part of their diet other than egg consumption…. no data on exercise or waist circumference. Terrible study design and worthless if you ask us.

So far eggs are still good and can be part of a healthy diet!
