Northwest Iowa — Eating healthy during the holidays can be a big challenge, but experts say your mindset can determine your success.
Dietician April Fuegen suggests you focus on family and friends, not just food, during this month of parties and feasts. Fuegen says to set realistic goals for yourself.
Fuegen says when you go to a family event or an office party, survey the buffet before digging in.
When going to a pot-luck, make an effort to bring healthy food to share and seek the support of your friends and family for healthy choices.
She also suggests you consider volunteering during the holidays as another way to focus on activities other than eating.
