People ask that a lot in the week before the holiday. Usually what they mean is “are you cooking” or “whom will you be visiting/hosting”. When I askWeight Loss Challengeparticipants “What are your plans for Thanksgiving?” I am really asking, “What is your plan for staying on track over the holiday?” Whether you are hosting/cooking or traveling, a lot of planning goes into the event. So add another section to your planner and label it “Staying on Track”. Eat Before You Go= Don’t Show Up Hungry (ThermoBond, an apple, string cheese) Lighten Up!Tweak recipes where you can to lessen the fat and calories. Portion Control= Fill that plate ONCE! Here are some portion guidelines: Deck of Cards = 3 Oz Golf Ball = ¼ Cup 1/2 Tennis Ball = ½ Cup Light Bulb = 1/8 of 9” Pie Be a Two-Fisted Drinker– Have a glass of water with you at all times. If you are consuming alcohol, make sure you empty your water glass before you refill the alcohol. BONUS: if you are busy holding a glass in each hand its harder to pick at appetizers. ENJOYthe things you LOVE and AVOID those things you can easily do without. Eg. Love stuffing? Skip the rolls. Relax- At the end of the day enjoy a nice soothing glass ofHerbal Aloe Concentrateand twoSnack Defense.

Some of my FB friends have been commenting about Dunkin Donuts’ (DD)seasonal offering “Mint Hot Chocolate”. They LOVE it! So I did a little checking. To their credit, DD makes nutritional information easy to find on their website. It's worth checking your favorite drinks BEFORE you place your order. Here are the facts on a “small” cup of DD's Mint Hot Chocolate. 220 Calories, 60 from Fat, 7 grams of Fat 27 grams of Sugar 1 gram of Protein. What????? 1 gram of Protein? How could that be? Isn’t Hot Chocolate made with Milk? (8 oz of milk has 8-10 grams of protein.) A quick look at the ingredients… INGREDIENTS: Water, Peppermint Hot Chocolate Powder {Sugar, Non Dairy Creamer [Contains Partially Hydrogenated Coconut Oil, Corn Syrup Solids, Sodium Caseinate (a milk derivative), Dipotassium Phosphate, Sugar, Mono and Diglycerides, Sodium Silicoaluminate, Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate, Soy Lecithin, Artificial Flavors, Annatto and Turmeric (Colors)], Cocoa Powder processed with alkali, Maltodextrin, Whey Powder, Nonfat Dry Milk, Salt, Cellulose Gum, Silicon Dioxide, Natural and Artificial Flavor, Sodium Citrate}. “Running on Dunkin” may be convenient and it may even taste good, it is pretty lousy fuel. Here’s a Healthier Mint Hot Chocolate Recipe. 8 oz 1% Milk 2 tbsp Ghirardelli Premium Hot Cocoa (I use ½ the serving and it's still very chocolatey) Peppermint Extract – to taste 170 Calories, 3g Fat, 27g Sugar, 9g Protein Note that its still pretty high in Sugar, almost 7 teaspoons, so make it a “special treat”. Want to make it more festive? Try a little "Whipped Light Cream" (the spray can kind) on top. That will only add 15 calories for 2 tbsp and 1 gram of fat. It's mostly air, looks so pretty and add a little creamy indulgence for a low calorie and fat price. ...read more

#1 - Get Moving Find ways to increase your activity level. Stretch or use light weights while watching TV or talking on the phone Add a morning or evening walk to your day - find a buddy to walk with. Go for variety by trying a new class - eg. spinning or pilates. Bored by the treadmill? try swimming or hiking. #2 - Be Prepared Avoid Hunger. Vince Lombardi said "Fatigue makes cowards of us all" So does hunger. Eat breakfast! Fuel the metabolism furnace with a breakfast of balanced protein and carbs. Skipping breakfast or a carb-based breakfast puts you on the blood-sugar rollercoaster and makes those holiday goodies in the break room irrestible. Eat on a regular schedule. Have a mid-afternoon or mid-morning snack as needed to keep the furnace stoked. Everyone knows better than to go shopping for groceries on an empty stomach (and without a list). Going to a party hungry is asking for trouble. Have a snack - a greek yogurt, an apple BEFORE you go. #3 - Practice Moderation NOT Deprivation Pick and Choose. Stick to the foods you really enjoy and skip those you don't. Eg. Have the potatoes and skip the buttered rolls. Portion Control. Enjoy your favorite things in smaller amounts. Eg. four bites instead of six. #4 - If you choose to drink alcohol, Drink Responsibly Of course that means to have a designated driver. It also means: Be responsible for the calories in each drink. They add up fast! Be responsible for your choices. Alcohol can weaken your resolve to practice moderation Be a Two-Fisted Drinker. (No, that doesn't mean order 2 for 1 during happy hour) Keep a bottle or glass of water in your other hand. With both hands occupied, you will nosh less. Don't get a refill of your alcoholic beverage until the water is gone. #5 - Enjoy Yourself - be in the moment - savor the good food, good times and your good friends.
