Marketing Communications Manager Kate Knox submitted this week’s wellness tips — some pointers if you’re looking to keep the extra holiday pounds off this season. Here are a few:

If it’s a party night, don’t let yourself think about it during the day. If you cut back by skipping breakfast or lunch, studies show you’ll eat more later. Also, you might get in the mindset that today is an “anything goes” day food-wise, which it isn’t. Don’t skip the gym, either.

Eat a filling snack before the party, like an apple and two teaspoons of fiber-rich, protein-rich peanut butter. That ought to hold you once you get there.

If you’re getting a pour, choose red wine. Red wine has resveratrol, which studies show releases fat and protects against obesity and weight gain.
