Agree that it is difficult to avoid a spread of good food. So, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), you should choose wisely at such gatherings.
- Eat plenty of protein and veggies before going to a party. This keeps you feeling fuller for longer periods of time and helps you eat less during these events (especially dinner).
- Eat around your usual time to keep your blood sugar stable.
- Grab a small plate of your favorite food and step away from the buffet table.
- Eat slowly. It takes at least 20 minutes for your brain to recognize that you are full.
- Avoid or limit alcohol consumption to avoid additional health hazards.

The CDC report also says moderation is key. While no one recommends avoiding celebratory dinners, it also suggests striking a balance between nutritious meals at breakfast and lunch. I can do it.
5. End the Day Right:
“It’s important to end the day the right way,” says nutritionist Rovneet Batra. For that reason, it is important to have good digestion and metabolism. A good night’s sleep does half the work, but it’s also important to get healthy nutrients to keep your body moving through the night, suggests the CDC.
