Holiday calories: That is an excellent question. You should strive to use smaller portions of each family dish to minimize the binge eating phenomenon to begin with. Vegetarian or vegan diets are very healthy but you need to make sure that you are eating balanced and getting enough exercise. Healthy eating and exercise go together but when we are not perfect, incorporate more exercise and low fat, low carb options

Purification...: After a large holiday meal (or sequence of meals), I find it best to take my body through a 24-hr, water-only fast. Not only do the stomach, small bowel, and colon cleanse, but also the excess stored carbohydrates are retrieved from the liver (glycogen storage). This can measurably reduce the bloated waist size after a series of indulgences. Skin turgor and oiliness improve too!

Just move on.: You can't un-eat what you ate a a big holiday dinner by doing some type of cleanse thereafter. The food, and the calories, have been absorbed already. Just go back to your normal, hopefully healthy eating habits.
