With proven Atkins strategies, savor Christmas feasts to the fullest while maintaining your weight effortlessly.
1. Start the day right
A nutritious breakfast reduces mid-day snack cravings. Try low-carb homemade bread or yogurt with fresh berries.
2. The new toast
Ditch regular toast for half an Atkins cracker topped with cream cheese and salmon, French cheese, or egg salad. Cucumber slices work great too, topped with olive tapenade or tuna salad.
3. Small bites
Eat slowly with smaller portions to feel full faster and curb later snack urges.
4. Enjoy wine and water
Savor fine wines at Christmas dinner, but alternate with water or sparkling mineral water to keep alcohol in check.
5. A snack beforehand
Heading to a family gathering? Don't go hungry—enjoy a light salad, nuts, or a cracker with celery salad and fresh herbs first. It helps resist unhealthy temptations.
6. Keep moving
After lunch or dinner, take a winter walk in the woods or park to support healthy digestion.
