Thanksgiving Tips to Stay in Control
It’s that time of the year and you know you always say “it’s so difficult to control my urges." Try these simple ways to help control yourself at your Thanksgiving feast:
- Portion Control!
- Don’t wait all day to eat. Eat breakfast and a healthy snack before Thanksgiving lunch.
- Have fresh steamed veggies (not everything should be smothered in butter or cream sauces).
- Drink water, this will help you to feel full and cut calories on alcohol/other drinks.
- Have a bite of someone’s dessert, rather then getting your own serving.

Thanksgiving is definitely a weight-gaining holiday, and is the start of a long holiday season. Watch what you eat and stay active as much as you can. Focus on smaller portion sizes, variety, low-fat foods, and watch your alcohol intake. If you do this, you might just have a positive beginning to a new year.
