Thanksgiving can be a difficult holiday because it is more about the food than the rest. And most of those foods are not the best (i.e. gravy, potatoes, stuffing, pies). So here are a few hints to make it a holiday where you can at least stay the same if not lose.- Think about what you really want to eat before you get to dinner. This way you will be able to make some priorities about what you want to eat.
- When you are dishing up your plate, do not let your food touch.
- Eat slowly so that you know when you are full before you over eat.
- Listen to your body. If it is telling you that you are full, listen to it.
- Take a walk or two during the day.
- Drink a lot of water. If you are thirsty you may think that you are hungry.
- Do not drink much alcohol.
- Bring a healthy snack and side dish to dinner. People will likely join you in eating it and it will help you stay on track.
It is still possilbe to have a fun and satisfiying Thanksgiving. You just need to make some good choices for it to be a successful one.
If you have any more to add, please do. Have a great holiday.
