Happy holiday eating Special to the Journal The average American gains at least five pounds between over the holidays but this year doesn’t have to end on a sour note. There are ways to maintain your weight and avoid a few extra pounds. ■ Don’t diet. Your goal should be to maintain weight, not lose it during the holiday season. ■ Plan ahead. The holidays are a hectic time. Try pre-planning quick, healthy meals and snacks. ■ Choose wisely. You don’t have to completely eliminate all of your favorite goodies. Choose small portions and fill your plate with low fat foods such as veg etables, fruit, cranberry dishes, and baked squash. ■ Eat first. Before going to a holiday party, eat something light such as a piece of fruit, two gra ham crackers with a fight spread of peanut butter, or a non-fat yogurt. This way you won’t be so hungry you overeat at the party. ■ Drink more water. When enjoying alcohol, spiked cider or eggnog, alternate one glass of water between each alcoholic bev erage to help you stay hydrated and to avoid drinking too much. “The basic rule for maintaining your weight anytime of year is ‘calories in equals calories out,”’ explains Sandra Brenner, RD, Ph.D., CDE, dietitian for Houston Healthcare. “The calories you get from food should equal those you bum with daily activity. Since you may be eating more during the holiday season, it would make sense to find ways to bum off a few of those extra calories. For example, try raking the leaves in your yard, parking farther away from the mall and walking, or taking a turn on the dance floor instead of standing in the buffet line.” United Way donation 10 & under: Natalie Schonau 30:14 11-17: Lauren Brett 27:56 Devon Griger 31:27 Name Time Age 1.
