Naughty or Nice? Debunking Holiday Nutrition Myths
Episode 8
Tuesday, 25 November, 2025
Holiday tables shouldn’t feel like courtrooms. We unpack the most persistent nutrition myths that spike stress this season and replace them with simple, science-backed habits that honor both your health and your traditions. From “saving calories” to post-party detox fads, we explain why extremes fail, how metabolism actually adapts, and what gentle, consistent choices make a real difference.We start by reframing food as value-neutral and spotlighting the real nutrition in classic dishes like stuffing, sweet potatoes, and pumpkin pie. Then we get practical: how to avoid the ravenous pre-dinner trap, build a plate you’ll savor, and use mindful eating to recognize satisfaction before discomfort. We also challenge the idea that one day can derail your goals, showing how long-term patterns matter far more than a single meal—and why stress and shame often do more damage than dessert.You’ll hear candid takes on “healthy swaps” that miss the mark, plus smarter tweaks that keep flavor front and center. We break down metabolism myths, the truth about holiday weight changes, and how to manage late events without blood sugar crashes. We share language for setting kind boundaries with food pushers, realistic hosting tips that add color and protein to the table, and an alcohol game plan that prioritizes hydration, pacing, and enjoyment. Finally, we address emotional eating with compassion and tools that help you meet deeper needs without turning food into a battleground.If this conversation helps you breathe easier around holiday food, share it with a friend who needs relief from diet noise.
