The holiday season is upon us. Unfortunately for those who want to lose weight, that sometimes means agonizing over how to stay on a diet. My advice don't diet at all. There are plenty of other ways to stay healthy and happy throughout the holidays, and to attend holiday parties without denying yourself favorite foods that are a traditional and regular part of many holiday celebrations. Try these suggestions to banish the guilt, normalize your eating, and enjoy yourself at any holiday get-together.

Eat before you go. No matter what time the celebration is, eating something before you go is always a good idea. It doesn't nave to be a complete meal; a half-sandwich and a glass of milk, a piece of fruit and a yogurt, or a few chunks of cheese and crackers will be enough to hold you over so that you don't arrive famished and immediately make the wrong food choices. Offer to bring a dish to pass. If bringing a dish to pass is acceptable, bring one of your favorite healthy dishes like veggies and dip or a fresh fruit plate.

That way you'll have something you know is nutritious to balance out the other not-so-healthy foods you may eat. You could also bring one of those favorite not-so-healthy dishes that you love to make and eat, then eat a moderate portion and don't take home the leftovers. Eat a variety of foods. Take a plate and try filling it once with a variety of healthy food choices like fruits and vegetables, lean meats, JIM CARREY fa (5:15 6:00 $3.00) 7:30 8:15 am S3 A fTWI-UTE) Show Daily i 11 Today's Times Only Seven Brad Pitt Today (5:30 9 $3.00) 8:15 JF Copycat Sigoumey Weaver Today (5:15 9 $3.00) 7:50 (R) Golden Eve Seoarate Performances Today (5:00 5:45 9 $3.00) 7:30 8:15 (PG-13) The American President Separate Performances Today (5:30 6:00 9 $3.00) 8:00 8:30 (PG-13) Ace Ventura 2 Separate Performances Today (5:15 6:00 0 $3.00) 7:30 8:15 (PG-13) Wwmbii bj uy aw gi wiwaini we Today 5:45 9 $3.00) 7:40 830 (PG-13) -IJ Cue .1..

Also, be sure to indulge in one or two of your favorite holiday treats without giving calories or fat a second thought.

Relish and enjoy them you deserve to eat what you like. Choose a time to sit down and eat Continuous snacking from cocktail napkins can make you unaware that you are eating at all and can leave you feeling un-full and unsatisfied. Give yourself a break. It's important to remember that over indulging and totally overdoing it at one holiday party will not instantly sabotage your intentions to eat lighter and. healthier.

If you do go overboard don't dwell on it. Remember that successful and long term healthy, normal eating requires a permanent change in lifestyle and behavior that vou can live with, and enjoy. Any food can be part of a healthy diet in moderation. Nutritionist Chris Sagolla-Flood is an MSU grad with degrees in dietetics and foods and nutrition.

Iinda Newbury, health educator at Creative Wellness, reminds people that a food craving only lasts four to 12 minutes. Teach yourself to ride it out.

Learn what foods you always grab. Typically it's the same kinds of foods. Don't take the first bite because then it's harder to resist the rest Ask yourself, "Is this a food that will harm or enhance my health?" Other tips: Exercise. People get so stressed out during the holidays that they start eliminating things from their day. Exercise is often the first to go.

"Even if it's only five to 10 minutes of exercise, thaf going to pick up your heart rate, get your metabolism going and give you a feeling of well being, being in charge.
