MC900444925[1]With the holiday season upon us, it can be difficult at times to stick to a healthy eating plan. And no, it doesn't have to be all or nothing. Here are a few tips to help you strike a healthy balance between overindulging in your favourite holiday foods yet maintaining healthy eating habits.

Eat regularly: Skipping meals can lead to overeating

Load up with colour: Yes, that means lots of colourful veggies but watch those tempting dips

Watch your drinks: Calories from drinks can add up quickly

Be active: Keep up or start a new exercise routine!

When eating out: have a bite beforehand, so you won't overeat

At a pot-luck: bring a healthy dish you can safely enjoy

At a buffet: set limits and focus on socializing instead of mindless nibbling

Last but not least, enjoy your favourite holiday foods:  In moderation!!
