Don’t leave the house without snacks: Without snacks comes hunger, those frenzied “gotta eat” cravings that carry you right over to the hors d’oeuvres. Bring healthy snacks with you.

Eat something before you go to the party: About an hour before the holiday dinner, eat some fresh fruit or veggies. Watch your will power soar while your waistline stays in place.

Be a good guest (it’s good for you!): Call your host and say, “I’d love to bring something. What are you planning on serving?” If you discover that one of the dishes is particularly unhealthy (or tempting), offer to bring your own version.

Select your first course foods so that they are low in calorie density: A huge green salad, a plate of fresh fruit, and a side of roasted vegetables add up to a lot of food, but not a lot of calories.

Dine like Europeans: Europeans remain slim by eating leisurely meals with much smaller servings than we typically eat in the U.S. And they more active in their daily lives, which certainly helps burn calories.

Don’t plant yourself in front of the buffet table: Settle down elsewhere, facing other pleasures. Is the band playing one of your favorite tunes? Grab a partner and go – far away from the buffet.
