Eat the healthy low calorie choices first. If you don't get to all the high calorie items, there's always next year.
Remember a holiday dinner is only one day, not a whole month long.
Prepare for a longer holiday season by counting calories and restricting portion sizes ahead of time to save up calories.
Start new non-food family traditions like charity, sports, concerts.
Color your table low calorie
For Christmas, try a red-and-white platter of white raw cauliflower florets and peeled sliced jicama with red sweet pepper strips. Offer another green-and-white one with green pepper strips. Serve a low calorie dip.
