The holidays are here and with them come parties, potlucks, and way too many snack tables. Between family dinners, office goodies, and trays of appetizers, it’s easy to find yourself picking at food all day without even realizing it.
Here’s the truth: grazing isn’t always the enemy. It can actually work in your favour but only when it’s done with a little awareness and intention.
With so many events (and so many snacks) this time of year, it’s easy to fall into mindless eating. It doesn’t have to be that way. Learning to notice when you’re grazing out of boredom, stress, or habit is the first step toward feeling more in control and still enjoying all your favourite holiday foods.
If you’ve ever caught yourself circling the snack table one too many times, this episode is definitely for you.
