6 “Healthy” Holiday Nutrition Habits that Are Actually Obsessive + What to Do Instead

The holiday season is here and I know for many of you this can cause a lot of anxiety around your relationship food, fitness, and your body. Many women want to take a healthy approach to the holiday season, which I completely support. But, for some, the health approach they think they are taking isn’t actually all that healthy. The approach is more obsessive and is actually fueling their negative relationship with food, fitness, and their body. That’s why I would like to explain which habits aren’t healthy and how you can actually navigate the holidays in a healthy, balanced, and enjoyable way. 

 

What I discussed: 

 

The healthy habits that are actually obsessive are…

1. Working off the “extra” cookies or pie you ate.
2. Working out so you deserve to eat the cookies or pie. 
3. Not eating all day because you know you have a holiday party to go to.
4. Eating less the next day because of what you ate the day before.
5. Using all your willpower to avoid the holiday foods. 
6. Giving up and going all in until January 1st.

The 6 steps to taking an actual healthy and balanced approach are…

 

Step 1: Get your macros counted. 

Step 2: Budget your macros.

Step 3: Focus on protein

Step 4: Keep the same workout plan. 

Step 5: Be consistent. 

Step 6: If you get off track, just get back on track. It’s as simple as that.
