Best advice I've seen in a long time, Arthur, but I don't have to think about
following it because I already do.

Subject: [Ottawadissenters] Holiday eating tips (smiie)
http://www.biosyntrx.com/articles.php?id=1270
In the spirit of the season and because it seems appropriate, I'm using a
holiday letter I just received from a favorite cousin as this week's Friday
Pearl. I don't think she wrote it herself since I seem to remember reading it
once before. I hope it brings a much-needed smile to your face, as it did to
all of ours.
1. Avoid carrot sticks. Anyone who puts carrots on a holiday buffet table
knows nothing of the Holiday spirit. In fact, if you see carrots, leave
immediately. Go next door, where they're serving rum balls.
2. Drink as much eggnog as you can. And quickly. It's rare... You cannot find
it any other time of year but now. So drink up! Who cares that it has 10,000
calories in every sip? It's not as if you're going to turn into an
eggnog-alcoholic or something. It's a treat... Enjoy it. Have one for me. Have
two. It's later than you think. It's Christmas!
3. If something comes with gravy, use it. That's the whole point of gravy.
Gravy does not stand alone. Pour it on. Make a volcano out of your mashed
potatoes. Fill it with gravy. Eat the volcano. Repeat.
4. As for mashed potatoes, always ask if they're made with skim milk or whole
milk. If it's skim, pass. Why bother? It's like buying a sports car with an
automatic transmission.
5. Do not have a snack before going to a party in an effort to control your
eating. The whole point of going to a Holiday party is to eat other people's
food for free. Lots of it. Hello?
6. Under no circumstances should you exercise between now and New Year's. You
can do that in January when you have nothing else to do. This is the time for
long naps, which you'll need after circling the buffet table while carrying a
10-pound plate of food and that vat of eggnog.
7. If you come across something really good at a buffet table, like frosted
Christmas cookies in the shape and size of Santa, position yourself near them
and don't budge. Have as many as you can before becoming the center of
attention. They're like a beautiful pair of shoes. If you leave them behind,
you're never going to see them again.
8. Same for pies. Apple, Pumpkin, Mincemeat. Have a slice of each. Or if you
don't like mincemeat, have two apples and one pumpkin. Always have three. When
else do you get to have more than one dessert?
9. Did someone mention fruitcake? Granted, it's loaded with the mandatory
celebratory calories, but avoid it at all cost. I mean, have some standards.
10. One final tip: If you don't feel terrible when you leave the party or get
up from the table, you haven't been paying attention. Re-read tips; start over,
but hurry, January is just around the corner and we can all resume our good
eating habits in 2013.
Consider this holiday season only motto: "Life should NOT be a journey to the
grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved
body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate and wine in one hand, body
thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"
Happy Holidays!
============================
.At PEARL We know you understand that we are major advocates of healthy
lifestyles, eating nutrient-dense foods and using well-designed nutritional
supplements to fill in 21st century processed food nutrient gaps that speed up
the aging process. However, we also believe it's OK and necessary to give
yourself permission to indulge in some festive foods and drink during the
holidays.
We sincerely wish all of our Friday Pearl readers a safe and joyous holiday
season with family and friends.
