It may seem like a Christmas miracle, but CHRISTUS Health dietitians want to remind people that it is possible to eat healthy during the holidays and avoid weight gain.
“The holidays are a time to eat, drink, and be merry with family and friends, but it does not mean it has to be a reason for weight gain,” said Lauren Clark, clinical dietitian with CHRISTUS Health. “There are simple things that can be done to limit weight gain while still enjoying all the delicious options.”
Clark said that focusing on portion control and moderation can help people enjoy a wider variety of foods while decreasing instances of overeating.
