Slimming Sips

Whether it’s dashing from store to store, partying all night at holiday soirees or sitting down for seasonal feasts the holidays are a trying time for our sanity and our diets.

Luckily, there is an easy way to fight the temptation to snack on all of those home-made holiday sweets and stay looking slim in your little black dress. Stay hydrated – the healthy way!

Solution #1: Skip The Alcohol

Its fun to unwind with a cocktail or two, but we have a feeling these fun facts might make your shy away from sipping that alcoholic spirit:

- Chatting over one glass of red wine packs on around 106 calories

- Sipping one cosmopolitan will cost you around 180 calories

- Toasting with a single cup of eggnog adds a whopping 350 calories to your daily intake

Instead, try drinking a twist-infused non-alcoholic cocktail to keep you feeling in the holiday spirit while watching your waistline.
