Healthy Holiday Swaps

 

Happy Thanksgiving!

 

I hope you have a wonderful day with your family and loved ones.

 

I appreciate you and having you as a part of our amazing low-carb/keto community!

 

As the holidays are now in full swing, in order to help you celebrate but STILL stay on track with your goals …

 

I’ve got a quick list of healthy swaps – and my #1 swap might even come in handy today!

 

This is the time of year we tend to eat more than usual … and the foods we eat also tend to be richer and more calorie dense than normal, too.

 

Talk about a double whammy for your energy, digestion system, and (yes I am going to say it) your waistline!

 

By all means, enjoy your “totally worth it” favorites this year … but you can offset those with a few healthy swaps for foods you won’t even think about tomorrow.

 

7 Healthy Swaps This Holiday Season

 

  • Fresh steamed green beans instead of green bean casserole
  • Mashed cauliflower, squash, or sweet potatoes instead of mashed potatoes
  • Baked cinnamon apples topped with coconut cream instead of apple pie
  • Hummus instead of a cheese ball
  • Non-sugar sweetener in your eggnog instead of sugar
  • Zucchini noodles in your soup or stew instead of conventional pasta or potatoes
  • Medjool dates or a piece of fresh fruit instead of holiday candy or cookies (portion sizes still matter!)

 

…. And my FAVORITE swap?

 

Go for a walk instead of crashing on the couch after you eat.

 

Going for a light walk (even a short one) after you eat will help reduce blood sugar and insulin levels …

 

And it may also help with easing digestion.

 

I hope these swaps help you feel and move better this holiday season.

 

It’s the little things we do every day (consistently and over time) that add up to BIG results!  

 

With those late-night advertisements for magic pills, powders, potions, and pre-packaged, plastic-wrapped, edible food-like substances - the only thing that gets slimmer in the long run is your bank account.
