Use Moderation
Caleb Christian, trainer at David Barton Gym, says moderation is key. If you try to avoid holiday indulgences, you’ll feel deprived which can lead to overeating later. Caleb suggests cutting things in half. For example, instead of buying a dozen cookies, get six. It’s also a great idea to choose the things you really enjoy rather than sampling everything.
