The holidays are hard. Sweets, breads, carbs galore! If you just stay focused on low carb choices you will never feel hungry or deprived! I just went out for dinner for a holiday celebration and had two vodka rocks, two olives, tuna (sushi type, no rice) and a blue cheese wedge salad. Fab! Very low carb choices and I had a great time! People say " oh, it's the holidays, I'll eat what I want." But, Jan. 2 always comes around! You can't stop it! You don't want your ass the size of Texas just because it's the holidays! Live well, eat well and be merry....remember, it's not about the food , it's about the people you share it with.
