To cut calories and a hangover, skip sweet drinks such as eggnog, with over 400 calories a cup, and 20 grams of sugar. Order a mixed drink with a clear liquor like vodka and seltzer with a twist of lemon, for a mere 100 calories. The darker the booze, and the more sugar in the drink, the worse you'll feel the next day. They contain more congeners, chemicals produced during the fermentation process that case head bangers!
Choose a small plate and fill it with veggies and lean protein. Both are more filling than carbohydrates. The fiber and water in the veggies gel up in your stomach, both digest slowly, moderating blood sugar levels. Choose shrimp cocktail and you will get an added calorie burn and burst of energy. Shrimp contains high levels of iodine, which fires up the thyroid, the king of our metabolisms.
You'll enjoy your party and have no regrets in the morning!
Happy Holidays Everyone!
