Rated: Mindful Eating and the Joy of the HolidaysBy Paulette Lambert, R.D., CDE, Director of NutritionNovember 27, 2009 - 6:00AMHere come the holidays! They are a time for family, celebrations and, of course, eating. In an environment that has holiday treats in abundance, does it mean that we have to succumb to the dreaded weight gain? Is there a way to enjoy delicious foods and not gain those five pounds? You do have a choice. You can enjoy the holidays and avoid gaining weight if you practice mindful eating. This is more than just watching what you eat. Mindful eating is being more aware of how, when, and why you eat, not just what you eat. Yes, the holiday celebrations are laden with special foods that lead many of us to use the excuse "it's only once a year." The reality, however, is that most of us can have whatever we want any time of the year. Remind yourself there will be another holiday soon (Valentine's Day, for one). If you really crave something special, you can buy or bake it another time without waiting for the next holiday to come up on the calendar. . . more
