5 Healthier Food Swaps For Your Holiday Favorites
The holidays are here! And whether you're hosting or attending a party, it's easy to get caught up in the excitement and overeat. This can make it challenging to eat well and avoid weight gain.
Staying on track during the holidays
It's so easy to get caught up in the chaos and stress of the season that we forget how important it is to take care of ourselves. And when you do, you'll feel better physically and mentally. You'll have more energy and be more productive at work (or school), and you'll have more time for yourself and your family.
When food is on your mind, it can be difficult to focus on anything else. And when you're eating for comfort, you may reach for foods that are high in sugar and fat—even if they're not what your body really needs.
Simple food hacks to incorporate into your holiday meals
If you're looking for ways to stay on track this holiday season, you're in luck. Here are my top five holiday food swaps that will help keep you on track:
1. Swap high-fat dairy products like cream cheese or butter with lower-fat versions such as reduced-fat sour cream or light butter.
2. Swap high-calorie processed foods like stuffing or mashed potatoes with lower-calorie versions such as whole grains (like brown rice), sweet potatoes, or vegetables (like cauliflower).
3. Swap sweets like sugar cookies or candy with fruits that contain fiber like apples, pears or bananas.
4. Swap refined white breads and pastas made from refined flour with whole grains (such as whole wheat bread) and legumes.
5. Swap high-fat meats like turkey with leaner cuts of meat such as chicken or fish.
Remember: Everything in moderation
There's nothing wrong with enjoying your favorite holiday foods, just make sure to do it in moderation and balance it with plenty of healthy eating.
