Facing festive feasts!

My Bingo Game

Practical advice for facing festive feasts!

1 - Avoid pre-meal munchies: Eat a toasted whole-wheat bagel or a bowl of oatmeal. You won't show up hungry and the whole grains are complex carbohydrates that take longer to digest.

2 - Fill up and burn extra calories: Drink a tall glass of ice water along with your meal. This will leave less room for eggnog and stuffing. You'll burn a few extra calories as your body warms the water temperature.

3 - Buffet strategy: Fill up on veggies first, then stand or sit a good distance from the table.

4 - Take a post-meal walk. Research indicates that physical activity after a big holiday meal may the lower levels of fat in the blood.
