Maintain your current weight during the holiday season rather than trying to lose weight. Plan your daily menu in advance and avoid excess calories by going to bed early. Eat a small salad or soup before grocery shopping, cooking, eating out, or attending parties. Adjust your food intake around social events and drink water regularly. Be mindful of food displays and say no to second helpings. Exercise portion control by counting calories and balancing treats with physical activity. Most importantly, focus on social connections rather than food during the holidays.
