7 Nutrition Hacks for ANY Holiday
Holidays bring emotion, family, memories and FOOD…the perfect recipe for a nutritional catastrophe, but fear not, my 7 Nutrition Hacks for ANY Holiday will set you up for success.
Whether it’s Thanksgiving, a birthday or any other holiday, the tendency we have is to over indulge in both eating and drinking.
Use these 7 tools to help you better deal with EVERY holiday.
- Eat the food, just not all of it. Eat 1 plate of food, mostly filled with lean protein (Turkey, fish, lean beef, tofu, etc), vegetables (AMGAP, as much green as possible), and healthy carbs (sweet potato, mashed potatoes, rice). Garnish by adding very small servings of guilty pleasures (if you’re able and this doesn’t trigger binge eating).
- Limit alcohol & sugary beverages. This is a hard one, but if you’ve got a goal it’s worth it. Have seltzer with a lime, or if you absolutely have to, have one glass of white wine. Sip it and savor it. If you need to, have a diet soda or a coffee drink with sugar substitute.
- Drink a ton of water. This will keep you full and dilute the sodium found in many holiday foods.
- Remember why you’re there. You’re there for the company, for the memories, for the good times. None of these things require over eating or drinking. Eat slow, enjoy every bite, savor every sip. Enjoy the conversation and catching up.
- Have dessert… only if you REALLY need to. BUT, make it something REALLY worth it. Have a half serving. Dessert Option 2: make your own healthy dessert and bring some to share. A large, beautiful fruit salad is never frowned upon.
- Protein up! Drink a protein shake 60 minutes before meal time. This will bring you in to the meal already satiated and not ravenous.
- Stop before you’re full. See #4. Eat slow, chew slow, enjoy the heck out of your food. Doing this will allow your brain to catch up to your stomach and STOP over eating.
Use these tools to enjoy every holiday to its fullest and still get the results you want. It’s hard when you start but it gets easier over time. The cake isn’t that good anyway.

Patrick’s amazing 34 pound weight loss in just…
6 weeks!
“I tried the whole 30, I wasn’t ready for it. I tried a bunch of word-of-mouth programs that were ridiculously hard to keep on for more than a week or two.”
“This is the best plan I’ve been on, period.”
What was the hardest part?
I think during the second week I was getting really frustrated with getting meals cooked. My cravings didn’t “evolve” yet, so some nights, after just pure frustration of not knowing WTF to eat after a long day at work, I wanted to throw the towel in. That passed pretty quickly though. The easiest part is the overall simplicity of the program. It’s not too restrictive and very easy to follow.
So your 6 weeks finished a little bit back. You’re still going. Tell me about that.
Everything just became a habit so I found myself pushing myself more and more. I’m at the end of the second week of Part 2 going full force. I’m feeling great. Oh, I need smaller pants!
Patrick took part in our Remote 6 Week Coaching program, including individualized nutrition and exercise guidance. His results are a great example of what is possible if you stick to the plan!
