The holidays can be a tricky time to maintain your weight, let alone lose it.

However, with these tricks before and during a party, you can stay on track:

  • Bring a dish to share that you feel good about eating too. I’ve included a party pleasing recipe. Everyone will go bananas!
  • Before attending a party, eat a small healthy snack at home. Never go starving, or you’re liable to eat the family dog!
  • Drink water in between cocktails.
  • Do an exercise video on YouTube before getting ready for the party.
  • Offer to clean up dishes or remove yourself from the table after you are done eating. Get as far away from any leftovers and treats as possible.
