			Healthy Holidays! The holidays are upon us, and it's always the same story: Two weeks from now, everyone will be on a diet and the gym will be overcrowded. But in the meantime…anything goes! If an endless round of holiday parties is taking its toll on your waistline, check out these tips for enjoying the festivities without abandoning your healthy diet.

			Contrary to what you may have read, most people gain only a pound or so over the holidays. The problem is that many will carry that pound around with them all year and add another one to it next year. In truth, the much-dreaded "holiday weight gain" isn't nearly as much of a threat as that insidious upward creep of a pound or two a year. Fortunately, we have tools that can help you stay healthy year-round, including customized exercise videos, logs to track your progress, and healthy recipes for every day of the week. From all of us at Nutrition Data and SELF.com, warmest wishes for a happy and healthy holiday season!

			Nutrition Research: Most Effective Diets New research confirms that diets that are higher in protein and lower in refined carbohydrates are the best for maintaining a healthy weight. For more details, see the Nutrition Data Blog. Nutrient of the Week: Fiber High-fiber foods can fill you up for fewer calories and help you maintain healthy cholesterol levels. But the ability of fiber to block the absorption of fat calories is minimal at best. Read more on the Nutrition Data Blog. Kitchen Nutrition: Micro Greens Even in the dead of winter, you can enjoy fresh, locally grown greens. (After all, what could be more local than your own windowsill?) For tips on how to grow your own micro greens, see the Nutrition Data Blog.
