Holiday season tip #1: Don’t turn up starving.
It is a busy time of year with meals often being missed but what you don't want to do is arrive at a work do absolutely starving…then suddenly the nibbles table becomes dinner.
I've done this countless times. And it never feels great afterwards.
A simple fix?
✅Have a proper, protein-rich meal or snack before you go.
Think eggs, yoghurt + fruit, cottage cheese on crackers, leftover chicken, or even a protein shake.
And don’t forget hydration. Half the time we think we’re hungry, we're actually just thirsty. Arriving thirsty also means that first alcoholic drink might do down a lot quicker than you intended.
Arriving fed and hydrated helps you make better choices, enjoy what you really want, and avoid that I overdid it feeling later.
How do you navigate the holiday season social functions?
**Good luck to all the mums and dads committed to the Elf on the Shelf antics this month.
