A practial guide to holiday eating!

I was reading Mike Boyle's blog today and he posted a few points on holiday eating.  I thought It was a good post because while many nutritionists would have you using their own state of  the art calorie counting method, mumbling numbers to yourself like rain man, Mike Boyle keeps it simple.   If you ask any fit person nine times out of ten they do not count calories they just generally eat more of the good stuff and less of the bad. 

Heres what he had to say:

#1- EAT LESS. This is the top tip. Eat less at breakfast, lunch and dinner. Remember, we don’t need 4-5 meals a day, we need 4-5 feedings a day.

#2 Plan to Fail- as above, don’t eat normally if you know you are going to attend a party. Eat sparingly during the day leading up to a party.

#3- Plan to Fail Part 2- get extra workouts in. Expend more calories in anticipation of taking in more calories.

#4- Forget all the stuff about sparkling water and celery. Just decrease your intake on “party” days and up your activity.

#5- Eat protein. Protein is filling and satiating. Better to eat chicken wings than chips in the mad, mad world of holiday parties.

BOTTOM LINE JUST EAT LESS!
