With party season here, it goes without saying that a sudden spike in holiday cheer may be accompanied by a corresponding surge in caloric intake. And packing your own juice cleanse for your upcoming trip home isn\u2019t exactly practical (or fun). Fortunately, Whitney Tingle and Danielle DuBoise, founders of the healthy food delivery service Sakara Life (which counts models Lily Aldridge, Erin Heatherton, and Chrissy Teigen as clients), have an infallible and refreshing strategy for enjoying every festive dinner invitation on your calendar.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur number one rule for holiday parties is that there are no rules,\u201d says Tingle. Which is to say that rather than arming yourself with a hard set of dos and don\u2019ts, you will have more success if you switch your focus to rejoicing in the party. \u201cThe stress and guilt is where people get into trouble,\u201d explains DuBoise. \u201cRemember that this too will pass\u2014and next week you can hit the reset button.\u201d With that in mind, there are certain guidelines that can help you fearlessly raise your glass and fork in the name of seasonal merriment.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe buffet is the danger zone,\u201d says Tingle, pointing out that arriving hungry and filling your plate with a little bit of everything on the table can easily spiral into more food than you bargained for. She suggests dodging the scenario by snacking on something light before the party begins, like a portion of spaghetti squash and kale, to satiate cravings before the hors d\u2019oeuvres and cheese plate arrive.<\/p>\n

If a seated dinner is on the itinerary, DuBoise and Tingle dig into a salad or side vegetable dish as soon as they sit down to distract from the bread basket\u2019s allure. But, as for ordering an entr\u00e9e, both women suggest eating what you want. If the mac and cheese with truffle oil is beckoning, for example, order one for the table. \u201cYou only really ever want a few bites of those things anyway,\u201d says DuBoise, who adds that relegating yourself to the least caloric foods will most likely lead to you nibbling off other people\u2019s plates (or wishing you were). They also advise steering clear of processed foods. \u201cGo for lamb, fish, or anything that\u2019s going to be fresh, nutritious, and made with whole ingredients,\u201d advises Tingle.<\/p>\n

And when it comes to champagne or dessert, remember that you\u2019re there to enjoy. Practice moderation by honing in on one thing that you want to splurge on, and sticking with it. Chocolate is always a safe bet, says DuBoise, because it satiates the palate. \u201cThere\u2019s no such thing as cheating on your diet,\u201d says Tingle firmly. \u201cJust eat really well tomorrow, and go to Physique 57. One week of parties is not going to kill you.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
