4.) Eat a high-fiber, protein-rich meal an hour before a holiday event
5.) Eat lean proteins and fruits and vegetables first
6.) Drink, drink, drink water
7.) Do not eat again until hungry following a large meal
8.) Immediately resume your normal eating schedule at the next meal
9.) Never eat junk food for breakfast or before bed
10.) Control your portions
