Truce with Food: Holiday Edition Prevent the eating downward spiral. Be poised for 2023

While the holidays only last a handful of days, the stress and disruptions to our routines often leads to falling off track with our food for months.

The new research on sustainable food changes points to why holiday food habits are so challenging: because traditional habit formation relies on predictable circumstances. And the holidays, like the last two years and foreseeable future, are anything but predictable.

This new research means battling to “stick to the eating plan” or rule following is out. In it’s place is learning to get out of the rigidity of all-or-nothing thinking and learn how to be flexible with our eating for sustainable change and results (with a side of ease and freedom).
