Easter is quickly creeping up and again we have to watch those calories and look for better choices when preparing a holiday feast. Staying away from high sodium items and those loaded with sugar may be a difficult task on Easter, but this is all part of a healthier lifestyle.
Cutting down on portion size is the best way to get through a holiday meal. If possible, ask for a smaller plate, it forces you to have smaller portions if you don't go for seconds!!! If a small or salad plate isn't available don't let your portions touch on that dinner plate!!
If those chocolate bunnies tempt you have a piece, but limit the size and choice. Go for the dark chocolate; it's not only an antioxidant, but has less sugar.
Don't deprive yourself, just eat wisely.
If you are going out to dinner or visiting relatives, be sure to eat a light breakfast or lunch. Try to maintain your regular exercise routine as it will make you feel better and you'll be less inclined to stuff yourself. Remember drink plenty of water before and throughout your meal.
