Healthy Tips for your Thanksgiving Lunch or Dinner!


Did you know that the average person can eat 2000 calories or more during their thanksgiving lunch or dinner?!?! I know all that food is calling your name, but in order to fit in your jeans after you eat keep some small tips in mind:

Make sure that you are not going to your Thanksgiving Lunch or Dinner hungry
– have small healthy snacks throughout the day so that you aren’t overeating at one meal.

Thanksgiving is not an all you can eat meal – make sure that you remember that you will eat again. Also a lot of times people over eat because they only have this meal once a year, in order to not overeat at Thanksgiving make the sides and meal more than once a year so you won’t gorge and be miserable.

Shake off the Skin – If you want to cut calories easily eat your turkey without the skin, this is better for you and it still tastes great!

Side Dishes, watch your size!
– Even with the holidays moderation is the key… make sure that you are having smaller portions of sides. You want to be able to try different sides so having small quantities will allow you to do that very thing!

Drink plenty of water- Water makes you feel full faster and if you have water you will save calories that you would have wasted on cokes and other beverages.

Hopefully these tips will help you at your wonderful Thanksgiving meal this year!!! Have a great and Happy Thanksgiving!
