Can you believe the holidays are already upon us? The holiday season is a truly fun and festive time of year for most of us. For others, the holidays are quite stressful, especially if you’ve been dieting and exercising to lose weight throughout the year. It’s nearly impossible to avoid all those delectable holiday foods and treats this time of year – they’re everywhere! To help you this holiday season, we've put together a healthy and satisfying dinner menu that you and your entire family can enjoy. These recipes have lower calorie and carb counts than you might think, so you can indulge, guilt-free, without worrying about sabotaging your weight loss efforts.

As the weather starts getting cooler, many of us start craving foods that are warm and comforting. Most of the “comfort foods” we often crave this time of year are the ones which are filled with carbs, as well as processed and refined ingredients. Although these comfort foods may taste great at the time, they often leave us feeling sluggish. When you’re trying to lose weight, these are the types of foods you definitely need to be steering clear of. On the other hand, eating foods which are healthy and low in carbs and calories doesn’t mean you have to feel like you’re starving.
