  • I've found there is a low carb substitute for ANYTHING. And it makes me feel good after.
  • You've already had a holiday screwup. What are you doing differently this time to keep from messing up?

Myself, I'm making turkey breast, Waldorf salad, some low carb dessert, and wine, with sweet potato. And I'm going to enjoy every minute.

We all have to learn how to handle holidays. In a way that works.


There really is. I actually think low-carb stuff tastes better.

My favorite trick is to eat enough meat and veggies first until I'm somewhat stuffed. And then I decide whether I want the other stuff. It's so much easier to deny eating dessert when your stomach is nice and full.
