During the holidays extra tiny tastes of food may not make a difference in the short run, but little bits from now through New Year’s can result in unwelcome weight gains. During the holiday season I find it hard to resist sampling the food I am preparing or baking. Plus, there are more special social occasions with great food. 

Here are a few strategies to help curb your tendency to take many tiny tastes:

• Chew gum when cooking or baking.
