30 Seconds SummaryFour Tactics to Avoid Holiday-Related Food Stress
- Don't use exercise as punishment for holiday indulgences; instead, maintain your regular workout routine without compensating for food intake.
- Most traditional holiday foods like turkey, sweet potatoes, and pumpkin pie are nutritious and shouldn't be viewed as 'bad'.
- Decide whether to track your food intake during holidays; you can either continue monitoring closely or take a break and estimate based on your experience.
- Enjoy the holidays for what they are—a chance to celebrate with loved ones—and treat holiday meals like any regular meal without overthinking.
- Holiday overeating won't ruin your fitness progress; it's a minor part of your overall year, so embrace the festivities without excessive stress over food.
