"Maintain, Don't Gain Holiday Challenge"-- Week 6

Happy New Year! Welcome to Week 6 of the "Maintain, Don't Gain Holiday Challenge". Below is an excerpt from the newsletter.

===============================================================
Are You Hungry or Thirsty?
Dr. Carolyn Dunn

"...stop and assess your hunger level. Food is ever present in our society, even more so in the holiday season. Ask yourself if you are actually hungry before diving into food.... Also, you should assess if you are hungry or thirsty. Having a glass of water, herb tea, or other calorie-free beverage prior to eating may help.... As you eat, be mindful of your level of fullness. Stop before you feel over full and be mindful of how you feel after each meal or snack...."
