Here are some great ideas to keep the holiday indulgent without eating yourself sick. Remember, it's a holi-DAY, not a holi-WEEK, so keep the leftovers to a minimum and focus on what's really important this holiday season!

PSYCHOLOGISTS:What do your patients identify as the single most important intervention you provided?

My post-op #bariatric pts most often mention our mindful eating exercise when reflecting on turning points in their relationship w/food, even years after treatment. #psychtwitter

Great time at the Obesity Summit today! Lots of evidence-based, practical information. @ClevelandClinic @LeslieHeinberg #Obesity19

[Anna Taylor @AnnaTaylorRD]

Worked hard to lose some weight, only to regain it later? Weight loss is hard, but so is maintaining that new weight, in part due to metabolic adaptation. Another great Obesity Summit this year @clevelandclinic! #Obesity19

If you really want to try IF, I recommend the most conservative version - try a 12 hour eating window, 12 hour fasting window: BF at 7am, close the kitchen by 7pm. It helps eliminate the extra needless grazing so often squeezed in at the end of the day. #IntermittentFasting

People often ask me about the safety of GMOs, organic vs conventional, gluten, artificial sweeteners, dairy, etc etc. Meanwhile, alcohol is the most overlooked carcinogen (cancer-causing agent) in the American diet. #DryJuly #alcohol #cancer

Six strange things alcohol can do to your body: https://t.co/kjcQdtI7I3

[Anna Taylor @AnnaTaylorRD]

5 oz of wine is about 125 calories. Drink that daily and it could add up to about 12# of body fat per year. Also, watch your pour - many people over serve themselves, leading to even more weight gain. #DryJuly #alcohol #weightloss

[Cleveland Clinic @ClevelandClinic]

Wine has more calories than you may think. https://t.co/9HZpjXo27Q

One thing you can do for your mental health today? Take a walk. You may not be able to "find the time," but why not "make the time" by prioritizing your day differently? You deserve it! #selfcare #mentalhealth #depression #Health

Physical activity is a key factor in fighting both depression & heart disease. https://t.co/lkk6cZMHE6

This review's summary, in plain English: People who lose weight end up with a slower #metabolism, and not just because they have less mass. This helps explain one reason why preventing weight regain over the long term is so difficult (but not impossible!). #weightlossjourney

[Nancy Clark MS RD @nclarkrd]

Why #weight reduction is not as mathematical as we would like it to be: https://t.co/zpiva7aH7C The body adapts to a reduced #calorie intake.

[Anna Taylor @AnnaTaylorRD]

@RM_CancerRehab @aicrtweets Agreed! We simply don't have the evidence to recommend this type of diet in an oncology setting currently. Meanwhile, these patients lose QOL and can end up with malnutrition, which we know can worsen prognosis!

[Anna Taylor @AnnaTaylorRD]

There's a lot of hype about whether a #keto #diet could help people diagnosed with #cancer. So far, we lack research that shows significant positive outcomes; meanwhile, this diet can lead to some not-so-fun side effects and affect quality of life. Here's more from @aicrtweets

[American Institute for Cancer Research @aicrtweets]

Currently, no major cancer health organizations, including AICR, recommend the ketogenic diet for cancer patients – or for cancer prevention. https://t.co/E5t3rd7ldq

Avoid sugary drinks like juice and soda. Instead, choose water, herbal tea, flavored seltzer, decaf tea/coffee, infused water (try lime and mint!), or unsweetened almond milk - aim for at least 64 oz per day to stay hydrated! https://t.co/QB2DbU76CN @fox8news
