During the holidays it’s fun to celebrate, attend parties, visit loved ones…and sample lots of delicious foods. And even though food is just a small part of what the holidays are all about, you might feel left out if you don’t indulge in some decadent holiday treats. That’s what’s so great about the 90-10 rule.

Whenever you attend a party or are offered holiday goodies, challenge yourself to follow this rule: Eat right 90% of the time and give yourself permission to indulge the other 10%. This way, you can truly savor all the pleasures of the holiday season while maintaining a healthy perspective on eating.
