Clara from Tidbits Restaurant offers the following advice for healthful holiday eating:

Treat rich, calorie dense food as you would condiments. A few bites are all you need to enjoy the flavor.

Fill up on high fiber foods such as whole grains, fruits & vegetables. They help slow down digestion.

 Eat plenty of protein. Your body burns more calories processing protein.

Splurge wisely and enjoy holiday foods in moderation. Don’t eat the pretzels, potato chips, or other foods you can have anytime. Go for the foods that are special!
