Who else I struggling with going from holidays style eating to a grown up way of eating? 🙋‍♀️

Below are 3 things you want to do in the next two week to get back on track and get rid of holiday bloat, and no, I’m not gonna ask you to eat your vegetables (you already know you gotta get those in).

1. Cut out soda and other caloric beverages.

Soda is a major source of sugar and calories, and it can make you feel sick. If you're cutting back on caffeine, try sparkling water with lemon instead of soda. Have a piece of fruit instead. This will curb your sugar cravings, too. Diet soda can stay.

2. Get rid of snacking.

Usually, instead of reaching for that bag of chips or cookies when you need a snack I suggest choosing something healthier like nuts, yogurt or fruit. If you need some extra help staying away from junk food, keep fresh fruits and vegetables on hand so they're easy to grab when hunger strikes. But for the sake of getting back on track even sooner, I suggest eliminating snacking completely and having 3-4 complete meals each day eaten sitting down. We did PLENTY of snacking around the holidays, full complete meals hit differently and you have better awareness of what’s on your plate. This will cut your calories without having to count them, too.

3. Start cooking at home more often

Cooking at home gives you control over what you're eating and how much salt, fat and sugar are in your meals. Plus, it can save money! Even if you’re not counting calories, home cooked meals are always lighter and healthier than restaurant made ones.

You celebrated, you enjoyed yourself, you had some wonderful meals and snacks, now it’s time to continue on with adult eating habits.
