smart choices without missing out on the festive fun.

HEALTHY HACKS

START WITH A

GAME PLAN

Instead of getting food

from the buffet as you go,

scout for the best offerings

much to get. Pick only the

foods that give you true

enjoyment then leave out

the rest.

MAKE SMART SWAPS

meat; skip the deep-fried

offerings and choose those

that are baked, grilled,

steamed, or sautéed; limit

the buttery and creamy

your veggies. Keep sauces,

dressings, and gravy on

the side instead of loading

to keep your consumption

of pastas and casseroles at

half a cup.

EXERCISE RESTRAINT

either. Instead of turning

your Noche Buena into

a four-day feast, keep it

as a one-day indulgence.

ALTERNATE

YOUR DRINKS

Cocktails and other

alcoholic beverages are

high in sugar and can pack

on as much as 100 calories

per glass. Avoid pouring on

the pounds by alternating

and zero-calorie sparkling

DROP THE GUILT

Calling it a “cheat meal”

yourself to indulge a

little. Instead, think of

it as a “reset meal”—a

momentary break that

STRIKE A BALANCE

After a day of festive

meals, go back to a more

balanced diet. Include lots

of fruits and vegetables,

protein sources like tofu

and beans, and healthy fats

like coconut and olive oils.
