1. Start with Whole-Foods ➡️ Make fruits and vegetables the star dishes for more whole, plant-based foods that are rich in fiber and micro-nutrients.

2. Swap your Sugars ➡️ When baking or cooking, try monk fruit, honey, or maple syrup. Or just cut the amount of sugar in your recipe by a third!

3. Stop 'Saving Calories' ➡️ Many people skip meals before a big holiday feast to "bank up" calories. But this can lead to overeating. Plan smaller, more frequent, high-quality meals around the big one.

4. Plan for Multiple Holiday Celebrations ➡️ Know what meals you'll be eating, what time and where. Will you focus on the main course at one meal and the sides at another?

5. Focus on fellowship ➡️ Remember the purpose of the holiday is to give thanks and enjoy time with loved ones, not just to eat.

BONUS!! Know Food Safety Rules
➡️ 2-Hour Rule: Perishable food should be attended to (refrigerated or disposed of) within two hours of being cooked.
➡️ Do not put hot food directly into the refrigerator. This raises the internal temperature of the fridge, putting other foods in the "danger zone" for bacteria growth.
➡️ Separate large quantities of food into shallow pans to bring the temperature down quickly before refrigerating.
➡️ Leftovers are typically good for three to four days in the refrigerator.
➡️ Always ensure you reheat leftovers to an internal temperature of 165°F.

Happy holidays!
