Let’s be real. Overeating is practically a holiday tradition. Our stockings are stuffed, our turkeys are stuffed… and our bellies are stuffed. This year, if you want to savor the season's flavors—without wrecking your weight-loss plan—then the goal is to leave get-togethers satisfied, not overstuffed. Somewhere between the two extremes of completely depriving yourself and completely overdoing it is the sweet spot: not too much or too little.
