Keep a small pad of paper with you at all times to write down your food and beverage intake. This will keep your motivation strong and will hold you accountable for all that you eat during the holidays.

Place Focus on Socializing

While you may be surrounded by tempting food during the holiday festivities, it's important to remember that this is the time of year to socialize with friends and family.

Ask The Host & Bring Your Own Dishes

If they were not planning on it, they may be fine with you bringing your side dish, meal option, or dessert that fits the low-carb diet plan you're on.
