ADVICE

Pick A Holiday Strategy Based On Progress

  • Decide what holiday approach fits your progress: celebrate intentionally or avoid the temptations entirely.
  • If you're early in the journey, start now and skip taking leftovers home to prevent a multi-day derailment.
ADVICE

Indulge Intentionally, Then Stop

  • If you choose to indulge, enjoy the foods that matter most to you and then stop immediately.
  • Do not bring home leftovers that extend the celebration into multiple meals or days.
ADVICE

Plan A Single Splurge And Resume Exercise

  • Plan to enjoy a controlled splurge (dessert or a special dish) and resume your routine promptly the next day.
  • Schedule workouts after travel or heavy meals to offset inflammation and sluggishness.
