This is third part of my blog on Tips to Enjoy 2011 Holiday Menu without Gaining Extra Waistline.




You can enjoy holiday food in 2011 , with little or no weight gain? Yes this can be done!

Follow these tips and enjoy.Here you find some free tips to revise your holiday’s food menu with some healthy choices:

12. Choose foods that are steamed


When you are eating out, with your family, try to eat Baked, broiled or roasted meat. Select meat, fish, poultry or vegetables prepared with lemon, tomato and herbs instead of butter, rich sauces.

13. Avoid skipping meals.


 Not eating throughout the day can lead to overeating later in the day. Instead, have several small nutritious snacks or meals during the day. Try low-fat yogurt, fruit or fruit salad, vegetable sticks, leafy green salads, whole grain bread or bagels, low-fat muffins, bean burritos, hummus and pita bread, chili, tortilla wraps, rice dishes with beans or vegetables, soup, whole wheat crackers with peanut butter, a handful of nuts and dried fruit, a hard boiled egg, milk, fruit and vegetable juice.

14. Pasta

Have pasta with tomato based sauces instead of cheese or cream sauces.

15 Salads

Dark leafy green salads with light vinaigrette dressing are a good alternative to higher fat Caesar and taco salads.

16. Enjoy a small taste of dessert.


When faced with a tempting array of rich desserts try a few small pieces or share a larger piece.

17. Drink plenty of fluids other than alcohol.


Alcohol can add unwanted calories and can leave you feeling tired and run down. Alternate your alcoholic drinks with non-alcoholic beverages such as soda or sparkling water, fruit or vegetable juices, and diet pop. If you drink alcohol, keep it to no more than 2 standard alcoholic beverages per occasion and no more than 14 alcoholic drinks for men or 9 alcoholic beverages for women per week. Water is the perfect choice to keep your hydrated and is calorie free.
