How To Stop Gaining Weight From Your Office Holiday Parties!!
Just about everyone I know, who works in an office, where they have holiday
parties, complains of the large amount of junk food, candy and cookies they
can't seem to stay away from! When I worked in a large office, it was difficult
to get through my daily work activities without always dipping into the tasty
temptations that were served at the party, leftover, for weeks after the party
or dishes, brought in throughout the holiday season by generous co-workers! I
know that I gained weight, sitting at the computer for most of the day, stuffing
my face!! That is until I brought in a healthy salad one year and gave myself
and everyone else the choice, not to gain weight from our office parties any
longer!
Take the lead and go tasty, homemade and healthy! If you talk to some of your
co-workers and you will realize that there are others like you who do not want
to pack on the pounds this holiday season! You may not get everyone to agree but
those who do, can share the responsibility of bringing in a healthier
alternatives to the tired, low nutrition, high calorie and high fat foods that
are always served. Try some of the following ideas for your next office party:
Tomato Salsa! Mix together the following ingredients and serve chilled with
multigrain chips. This healthy snack is great tasting, and has holiday colors,
red and green: 8 to 10 tomatoes with seeds removed, 1/2 cup of chopped red
onion, 5 tablespoons of fresh parsley (1 big handful-chopped), juice from 1
fresh lime, 4 cloves of garlic, minced, 1 to 2 teaspoons of sea salt (to taste),
1 tablespoon of granulated sugar (organic is best), and up to 1 jalepeno pepper,
chopped (optional).
Black Bean Dip with Multigrain chips! Mix together the following ingredients and
serve with multigrain chips: One can sweet corn, drained, one can black beans,
well rinsed and drained, one big tomato chopped, one small red onion chopped,
one tbsp minced garlic, one ripe avacado, chopped into chunks, one half cup
olive oil, one fourth cup balsamic vinegar.
The Best Tossed Salad! This is a salad that everyone will love and then prepare
for their own parties. It all has to do with adding a little bit of sweet and a
lot of crunchiness that makes this salad stand out! Mix together in a large
serving bowl, your own amounts (depending on the size of your party) of:
lettuce, sliced cucumbers, chopped carrots, cherry tomatoes, broccoli florets,
thinly sliced red onion, sliced mushrooms, chopped celery, dried cranberries
(ocean spray and others produce this sweet, red, dried fruit) and top with
herb/garlic croutons (we suggest Chatham Village croutons) Put on the table a
couple of dressings (good season's Italian is great with this!) and parm cheese
to add to the salad.
Adding a few healthy dishes to your office party will help you keep the weight
off this holiday season and you will notice that you, and anyone else who adopts
this healthier approach, will have more energy and fewer food cravings than the
others who decided to give in to all of the sugar laden holiday temptations! For
