Select Smarter Foods

Clever swaps can keep all your favorite flavors on the table. Fill your holiday menu with tasty high-fiber foods, whole grains, and lean proteins. Keep refined carbohydrates and high-sodium dishes on the “naughty” list.

Say "No" to Skipping

Don’t ever skip meals. Before holiday festivities, eat a light snack like raw vegetables or a piece of fresh fruit to help curb your appetite. This way, your metabolism won’t slow down and you will be less tempted to overindulge later.

Make Family Fitness Fun

Stay fit as a family. Take a walk, ride bikes, or play a friendly game of flag football. Seasonal activities like building a snowman and raking leaves burn calories, too. Get moving together and remember to have fun!
