This is a high carb time of the year. We have received tips to get through you.

Are you wondering how you will navigate all the holidays and potential stress of the next week? Food and drinks play a big role in December traditions. It is natural to worry about how you will manage to stick to your low carb diet.

Experts of the diet doctor have some time-tested suggestions during this particular time-and even to flourish. Below, you will find our suggestions about seven holiday conditions and navigating them.

1. When everyone is dessert and behaving for the office or party

Holiday parties can be filled with lingering high carb dishes. Plan to bring your own low carb dishes to share, such as cheese crisps, cookies, or whatever you love. Scout the offerings of others as well. There are often a cheese plaater, charcoti board, or satanic eggs to enjoy. But if you are going anywhere, there can be no low carb option, then bring some less carb food so that you are sure to have an option. You can eat even before leaving so that you cannot stay hungry.

2. When friends are pushing high carb food

As you lose weight and are healthy, it is common for friends to say this “You look great, but a small piece of it will not hurt,” Or “Reward yourself, you have done great!,

Accept these thoughtful comments, but redirect. “Thank you! I’m working hard, and I am really very good. I don’t want to feel good. So you go ahead and enjoy and I will keep some of this cheese here that looks very tasty!”

3. When a favorite aunt or friend says: “But I have made it especially for you”

Go for connection, not carbs. Tell him: “You are very kind! I have always loved your recipe. Why you don’t enjoy it and I will sit here and chat with you so that we can catch.”

You can try to find or create a low carb version of its signature dish. Emphasize how good you feel when you avoid sugar and starch.

4. When a special dish is a special temptation

If you feel a special cultural or family relationship for a specific dish at this time of the year, then it may feel that you are not participating in the festival or not participating in the celebration if you go without it. But can you create a low carb version of that particular dish? Or you can find a replacement – something new that looks equally delicious?
