With so many people on diets these days, most holiday gatherings will include several weight-conscious guests.
What should you serve if you're hosting such an event? What should you do differently when you have guests who are watching their weight?
FREE Guidelines for Hosts with Dieting Holiday Guests
In keeping with her belief that people should enjoy their food without undue concern for their weight, Ruth Houston, the author of Eat Smart and Lose Weight, has prepared some guidelines for anyone hosting dieting guests.
Says Houston. "Accommodating weight-conscious guests starts with putting your guests at ease. Create an atmosphere where guests can enjoy themselves without worrying about their weight. Of course you'll want to include some weight-friendly foods for dieting guests to eat. But even the way food is served or displayed can help weight watchers keep calorie consumption in check."
Primary Concerns for Hosts Whose Guests are Watching Their Weight
Houston's guidelines cover some primary areas of concern when hosting weight-conscious guests: putting guests at ease, avoiding awkward moments, making adjustments in presenting or serving the food, and ideas for what to serve.
Houston includes lots of little tips for accommodating dieters and weight-watchers without shortchanging your other guests.
Her guidelines consist of three sections with easy-to-implement suggestions as indicated below:
- Do's and don'ts for hosting dieting holiday guests
- Simple tips and tricks for accommodating guests who are watching their weight
- Weight-friendly food and beverage suggestions – from appetizers to desserts
