Some Quick Ideas For You To Think About Before You Eat

Start smart. To avoid overeating later on, try starting the day with a protein-rich breakfast, and consider breaking up that one massive meal into two smaller meals spaced a few hours apart.

Lighten the carb load. It’s recommended to eat between 225 and 325 grams of carbohydrates daily, but take it easy on the starchy side dishes. Sorry, mashed potatoes and cornbread, that means you.

Lay off the booze. Alcohol can slow down digestion, so consider raising a glass of water for that holiday toast instead.

Get moving! Play a game with your kids outside, go for a walk around the neighborhood, or even house work.
