================== ARTICLE START ==================

The approaching holidays are a nightmare for anyone engaged in

a weight loss or diet regimen and with very good reason. With

all of the temptations that seem to lurk around every corner,

office get-together and holiday party; it can be easy for even

the most determined dieters to get sidetracked and lose sight

of their weight loss goals. This year; however, by giving your

choices and portions a little carefully aimed attention you can

avoid destroying all the hard work you have put into your diet

the rest of the year.

One of the biggest challenges for many dieters during the

holiday season is avoiding the hectic round of get-togethers

and parties that almost always come hand in hand with the

holidays. The good news about such events; however, is that

many of them tend to be buffet and pot-luck types of affairs;

which gives you numerous options that can help you to stick to

your diet plans. While buffet tables are typically laden with

heavy casseroles and fatty appetizers, you can usually find at

least one platter of fresh vegetables served with a nice

low-fat dip. Also, opt for fresh fruits instead of the

abundance of baked desserts that are typically offered. Instead

of stocking your plate up with diet dangerous foods, choose

steamed vegetables and healthy grains such as wild rice and

wheat bread. Opting for white meat instead of dark meat can

also help you to stay on the straight and narrow, by avoiding

additional calories.

Whenever possible, limit the amount of alcohol based beverages

that you consume. Just a few alcoholic beverages contain a

surprising amount of calories; not to mention the fact that

they only serve to increase the appetite of most people. Choose

a light bear, wine spritzer or carbonated flavored water

instead.

When it’s your turn to prepare the mound of requisite holiday

food, remember that there are several tricks you can employ in

order to stay true to your diet goals and keep family and

friends pleased at the same time. One way to do this is by

substituting evaporated skim milk for regular milk or cream in

your holiday recipes. This will help to tremendously cut down

on the amount of fat and calories included in your dishes

without sacrificing taste. Unsweetened applesauce makes a great

substitute for calorie laden oil while egg substitute can easily

replace the requirement for eggs in most recipes without any

noticeable change to the taste.

Finally, one of the best ways that you can avoid overindulging

this holiday season is to take it slow and easy. Remember that

the entire point of this time of year is to get together with

friends and family members; many of which you might not see for

months to come. Focus on the fun and conversation instead of

rushing through a heavy meal and you’ll find that not only did

you enjoy this year more, but that you made it through with

your diet intact.
