What’s this week’s diet tips question? Let’s dive straight in…
First off, check out my diet program here: Ruby Weight loss
I have three suggestions for you that have worked for me time and time again:
1)before you go to the party, eat a sensible meal so that you don’t arrive hungry. The foods at parties are usually calorie-rich and not the best for one’s waistline.
2)When we go to parties, we seem to always have a drink in our hands. So, drink water instead of only the beverages served. Alcohol will inhibit your resolve to cut down on intake, and sugar-rich beverages are high in calories. So drink lots of water along with other beverages.
3)Finally, really enjoy the food. Appreciate how it looks. Then take small bites and savor the great flavors. Chew each bite really well and eat slowly. Gorging works against just about every good thing food can provide . . . so take it easy and really take pleasure in all that is served.
Have fun and Happy New Year!
Drink lots of water, it'll curb the appetite. Or you can fill up on your favorite diet snack/food before you leave the house. You could also cue the host in our your attempt to lose weight … they may have something low fat/carbs handy to offer you. To me though, the holidays are a terrible time to try cutting back. Enjoy them now … work it off later!

I believe in everything in moderation. That way it's not an impossible goal. If you deprive yourself it will make it harder in the long run.
