Moderate exercise can reduce your appetite and help you control how much you eat. So make time by scheduling a 30 minute walk or bike ride before you begin your day. Listen to your stomach and stop eating when your are satisfied or begin to feel full. This will help you more than any other behavior during the holiday season. If you like to cook you are not alone.
Cooking is back in style and cookbooks are plentiful.
Low-fat cooking is the wave of the future in order for us to take control of our own health. So don't be afraid to prepare your favorite traditional dishes with healthy ingredients. More and more healthy cooks are substituting alternatives such as egg whites for egg yolks and low-fat cheeses for whole milk varieties. You can use these low-fat substitutions in a variety of recipes without your guests detecting any change. And remember, always prepare foods after eating a meal, rather than when you are hungry.
