trying to avoid the holiday binge eating
 

hi all -

with easter just around the corner, I'm nervous about cheating that day. does anyone have any healthy recipes for the holiday?

hope you're all having a wonderful day!! :)

I know what you mean! My family goes to an Easter brunch buffet every year, so that won't be easy. I just plan on keeping it to one plate and lots of veggies if I can help it. Going to do my best to stay away from all of the wonderful candy!!

Good luck!

Just about every dish can be tweaked to be healthier and delicious!

GL!

An easy thing to do is to bring a large veggie plate, full of your favourite raw veggies. Then you can snack as much as you want guilt free.

I'll just cheat but I'll keep the portions as small as I can and have lots of vegetables and salad. I'll also have some dessert as I do once a week. I keep any favourite foods on my plate and eat them last. We don't have small kids around so I didn't buy any chocolate for us.

man i know your concern. im pretty stable w my weight other than when i go on vacation or its the holidays..then its a free for all! Sub low cal products when cooking or look online for some good healthy recipes you can bring
