Controlling holiday menu to maintain leaner weight: The buffet menu
Looking back on the achievement you have made in your weight management, we can join you in saying kudos for the far you have reached. We must commend you because it is not easy and many who started with you dropped along the way. However as you continue walking the stare case of weight loss management, you will meet new obstacles which may seem harmless yet are very dangerous. Take for instance the activities taking place during holidays and official parties organized by your organization. Controlling holiday menu may pose a challenge. Take for instance the buffet menu which is a meal consisting of several dishes from which guests serve themselves. This is the most challenging of all and the biggest issue is when faced with a buffet and not picking at the food throughout the entire evening. Ideally this will not be easy not just on you but to many people. Therefore you need to adopt the following strategies to fight the temptation of unhealthy feeding:
- Eat a small, low-calorie meal a few hours before attending the party you will be fairly full and this will keep you from feeling famished and ready to ravage the appetizers as soon as you arrive.
- Take note not to deprive yourself of your favorite foods, sample small portions and enjoy.
- Make a plate, sit down, and eat mindfully. Once you’re finished, commit to being done and try not to stand by (and pick at) the food table or the bowl of chocolate candies you could break the promise.
- Use veggies as low-calorie dippers.
