Depending on New Year’s resolutions to lose weight isn’t a way to rationalize poor eating habits, according to the American Heart Association.

In anticipation of the upcoming holiday season, the American Heart Association (AHA) is kicking off a month-long campaign to encourage people to make healthier choices.

The AHA has designated November as Eat Smart Month in an effort to publicize eating healthier at upcoming parties and gatherings.

To begin the month, the AHA has provided the following five suggestions to keep nutritional goals on track. Click through the slideshow to view the tips.
