Smart Sides for New Year's Gatherings

As our Aim to Maintain challenge comes to an end, we want to ensure you continue optimizing your health through food. Read below for some tips on how you can stay on track through New Year’s and be sure to try these simple yet delicious recipes. We’ll help you enjoy the holidays AND stay at a healthy weight.

Smart-Side Dishes

If you're attending potlucks or family dinners, consider bringing a plant forward dish to share. This ensures that there's at least one nutritious option available, and it also encourages others to make healthier choices. Opt for vibrant salads with a variety of leafy greens, colorful vegetables, and a sprinkle of nuts for added crunch. Roasted butternut squash or Brussels sprouts seasoned with herbs offer a delicious and nutrient-packed alternative to traditional sides. These types of dishes contain essential vitamins and minerals like magnesium, Vitamin C, polyphenols, and soluble fiber. By incorporating nutrient-dense options, you not only contribute to the holiday feast but also ensure that everyone can enjoy flavorful, health-conscious choices amid the festive indulgence.

Prioritize Sleep

Often overlooked during the holidays, sleep is a crucial component of overall health. Lack of sleep can lead to increased stress, overeating, and impaired decision-making. Prioritize quality sleep by establishing a consistent bedtime routine, creating a comfortable sleep environment, and aiming for 7-9 hours of sleep each night. A well-rested body and mind are better equipped to make healthy choices.

Compliment Your Food Intake with Lean + Fiber Supplements 

Take our Lean + Fiber supplements together during this holiday season to protect your gut, balance blood sugar, and optimize your weight goals. Lean contains a specific probiotic strain that has been shown to maintain gut regularity, reduce body fat, and potentially help with weight loss. Our Fiber supplement is rich in a highly purified soluble fiber called glucomannan, which attracts water and forms a viscous gel-like substance that slows digestion, delays the emptying of food from the stomach keeping you feeling full for longer.
