Holiday gatherings often bring an abundance of sugary treats, comfort foods, and big meals; and for those living with diabetes or navigating metabolic challenges, this season can feel especially overwhelming.
But here’s the good news: you don’t need to deprive yourself. The key is understanding that what you eat matters far more than how much.
Here’s how to support your metabolic health while still enjoying the holidays:
1. Focus on food quality, not calorie counting
Highly processed and sugary foods are absorbed quickly, leading to rapid insulin spikes. This sets off a cycle of hunger, cravings, and fatigue - especially challenging for those managing diabetes or insulin resistance.
2. Choose nutrient-dense foods
Prioritize whole, plant-based foods, healthy fats, and moderate protein from plant and fish sources. These foods work with your metabolism - supporting insulin sensitivity, steady energy, and better overall glucose control.
3. Utilize fasting strategically
Fasting can help your body shift from a glucose-burning state into fat-burning mode, improving metabolic flexibility and glucose regulation. Cycles of the Fasting Mimicking Diet (FMD) offer these benefits and are a powerful tool used in our Diabetes Remission & Regression and Metabolic Health programs. 1-Day Resets helps support internal clean up and a perfect kick start to your week!
Balanced, confident holiday eating is possible - you just need the right framework.
