Park Your Patootie at the Fruit Bowl - And Other Holiday Party Survival Tips

Categories: Nutrition & Supplements

holiday partyBeware of the holiday party -- it can bring out the pig is all of us. Maybe we grab at goodies because we're nervous. Or we're starving. Or we have a crush on the server mingling with the appetizer tray. Or we're faced with treats that are just too tempting. Divine Caroline to the rescue, with a few tips for helping us survive the seasonal soirée.

  • Tell yourself the food isn't that good. It's just filler food drenched in butter. You don't need it.
  • Park your patootie at the fruit bowl. If you binge on fruit all night, you'll simply be loading up on nutrients and cleansing your system.
  • Nix the creamy, fruity drinks. They're loaded with calories and sugar and will head you straight for a hangover. Wouldn't want them spilling on your spiffy dress either.
  • Take three bites -- only. It's all you need to satisfy your craving for sweets.

Some final divine words of wisdom: Dance, chat, drink lots of water, and then go home.
