Plan for Holiday Eating - Note from Nurse Breznik
You may not be able to control what food you’re served, and you’re bound to see other people eating a lot of tempting treats. Meet the challenges armed with a plan:
· Eat close to your usual times to keep your blood sugar steady. If your meal is served later than normal, eat a small snack at your usual mealtime and eat a little less when dinner is served.
· Invited to a party? Offer to bring a healthy dish along.
· If you have a sweet treat, cut back on other carbs (like potatoes and bread) during the meal.
· Don’t skip meals to save up for a feast. It will be harder to keep your blood sugar in control, and you’ll be really hungry and more likely to overeat.
· If you slip up, get right back to healthy eating with your next meal.
