Healthy Holiday Solutions With Culinary Nutritionist Chef Stefanie Sacks & KIWW Chef Andre Carthen

Dec. 5, 2011 - PRLog -- STEFANIE’S FOOD SOLUTIONS

Well, the holidays are upon us. I’m Jewish, married to a non-Jewish man thus we celebrate all holidays. And I am not just talking Chanukah and Christmas. Let’s add Easter, Passover, Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur to the mix. Oiy!!!

These are all “joyous” occasions, yet for most of us the joy is laced with many other emotions and not always good ones. And because food is central to most holidays, our relationship with food takes a serious beating during these times.

For the first 20 plus years of my life I celebrated Passover, Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur at my paternal grandparents house. I couldn’t wait to see my Grandma, aunts, uncles and cousins yet deep within I was nervous about the abundance of food that surrounded—bowls of candy, the rich and plentiful meals and the multitude of desserts. I wanted to eat because it made my Jewish grandmother happy and indulgence seemed appropriate for these festive occasions.

However I had body image issues and all that other stuff that goes with being a girl so I wanted to try to stick with the healthy stuff. Sadly, most times I ate and ate and ate…and neither felt good physically nor mentally thereafter.
