Once the Halloween candy hits the shelves, you know that the holiday season is starting up and won't be over until after New Year's. In addition to candy, there are cakes, pies and huge family dinners to contend with. There are ways to prepare for a meal, but how can you prepare for a season of not-so-healthy eating without worrying about your health or weight?
Some people wait to see how much damage has been done before cutting back in January. One friend told me that she tries to have a salad with low-fat/low cal dressing, or a low-fat soup for lunch as the holidays approach and throughout the season - as opposed to sandwiches, burgers and even leftovers - which gives her a sense of flexibility when it comes to her aunt's pecan pie and potatoes with gravy. That's quite a long time to prepare for a few big meals, though.
Do you try to change your diet to offset seasonal indulgences?

There's just no reason to stuff myself like a turkey. I've done that nearly every year, and I always end up wishing I hadn't. Not this year!

holiday parties and meals? When you think about it,
the trouble begins with the Halloween parties; then
until New Year's we don't stand a chance. Remember,
moderation is the key, so you really can enjoy yourself. . . just don't over do it. Be a grazer, not
a glutton.
