Happy Holidays with High Density Foods for Healthy Eating and Weight Control

Whether you call it Volumetrics or just common sense, eating high volume (i.e., filling) foods with low calorie counts is a satisfying way to lose or maintain weight without going hungry.

Calorie restriction – or getting more nutrient “bang” for your calorie “buck” – is the only undisputed method to increase longevity. As we prepare for the non-stop holiday/party/family feast time of year that begins Thanksgiving and doesn’t end until the New Year, it’s a very good time to consider best food choices.

You can get through the winter holidays without packing on pounds that you will regret and battle to lose for months or years after. And you can still enjoy all the festivities! Here are Jean’s tips for enjoying your holiday feasts – with NO REGRETS.
