tips on how to survive the holidays food cravings?

The holidays can be a tough time to stay on track with your eating goals. With all the delicious food and treats around, it's easy to overindulge. But there are a few things you can do to survive the holiday food cravings and still enjoy the season:

• Anticipate your cravings. Before you go to a holiday event, think about what foods you're most likely to crave. Then, come up with a plan for how you'll deal with those cravings. For example, if you know you're going to crave cookies, bring a healthy snack with you to eat beforehand.
• Eat before you go. Eating a healthy meal or snack before you go to a holiday event will help you feel full and less likely to overindulge.
• Bring your own food. If you're concerned about the food that will be served at a holiday event, bring your own healthy dish to share. This way, you'll have something to eat that you know is good for you.
• Make small changes. If you can't resist your favorite holiday foods, try making small changes to make them healthier. For example, instead of eating a whole slice of pie, eat half a slice. Or, instead of having a sugary drink, have a glass of water with lemon or lime.
• Be mindful of your portions. It's easy to overindulge when you're eating delicious holiday food. But by being mindful of your portions, you can help control your calorie intake.
• Don't beat yourself up if you slip up. Everyone slips up from time to time. If you overindulge at a holiday event, don't beat yourself up about it. Just pick yourself up and start again the next day.

• Get enough sleep. When you're well-rested, you're better able to resist cravings.
• Exercise regularly. Exercise helps to reduce stress and improve mood, both of which can help to reduce cravings.
• Drink plenty of water. Staying hydrated can help to reduce hunger and cravings.
• Find healthy ways to cope with stress. Stress can trigger cravings, so it's important to find healthy ways to cope with it. Some helpful coping mechanisms include exercise, yoga, meditation, and spending time with loved ones.

Remember, the holidays are a time to enjoy yourself and your loved ones. Don't let food cravings ruin your holiday fun. By following these tips, you can enjoy the season without overindulging.
