... are around the corner! Of course, it's natural to want to indulge in the wonderful Thanksgiving and Christmas treats that are coming into season. It's hard to skip by that sugar cookie and pass up the rum cake. But you still have goals and it's best to keep with them through even the toughest season of all. If you can make it out of the other end of the holiday season then you'll have no problem with meeting your goals in the new year.
My suggestion: be proactive against those tantalizing sweets! Eat before you go to the gathering. Make your own healthy desserts at home and bring them to the party, Turkey Day dinner, or other Holiday social gatherings.
Trust me, for the most part, others are not going to stop in their tracks to make sure you are not tempted by the unhealthy, sugary, carb-filled foods that will comprimise everything you are working hard towards. You have to be the one that says No to those foods and stick to the limited healthy ones. There are plenty of ways to have healthy, veggie filled, fruitful, sugar-free Turkey Day and Christmas dinners. But it'll take work on your part to keep on this path.
But it'll be totally worth it!
The best way to find desserts and fun foods that are healthy and not loaded down with sugar is to use a search engine, type in "holiday desserts paleo" and voila! You havehealthy recipes at your finger tips... and yes, I type "paleo" at the end of every recipe search.
