Spring is here! This great time of year is full of celebrations and social/special occasion eating events. Don’t get stressed, instead plan ahead to suit your needs.

Social Eating Tips:

If you are a guest….

  • Set time limits at food-centered events
  • Don’t arrive hungry!
  • Distance yourself from the food table

If you are the host…

  • Consider reducing your cooking time and exposure to tempting foods by having the event catered or share the cooking responsibilities and ask guests to bring a dish for a “potluck”
  • After the party, make sure to have a plan for leftovers
  • Encourage non-food holiday traditions to incorporate more activities and bonding without food being the focus
