Navigating Holiday Feasts to Stay on Track

Holiday meals don’t have to mean holiday weight gain—discover how to enjoy festive foods without the extra pounds. Dr. Jordan and Dr. Williams reveal practical strategies for navigating traditional carb- and fat-rich holiday dishes, explaining how these foods can spike insulin levels and lead to fat storage. To counter this, they recommend balancing carb-heavy plates with protein to moderate insulin response, starting the day with a protein-rich breakfast to prevent overeating, and using smaller plates to manage portions. By being mindful of these choices, listeners can savor holiday meals and apply these insights year-round for a balanced, healthy approach to eating.
