Not to ruin all the fun, but here are a few tips to survive Thanksgiving on a diet.
1. Be sure to eat a light breakfast and lunch before the big dinner. If you hold out, you may eat more than you had planned!
2. Be sure that a few healthy vegetable dishes are on the menu, and ultimately make it onto your plate.
3. Eat the skinless part of the turkey to lower fat intake.
4. Choose to drink water instead of sodas or juices. Alcohol adds calories, so avoid alcohol and stick to water, or tea.
5. Opt for sweet potatoes which have lots of nutrients, and avoid cooking with loads of butter if possible!
Remember to make sacrifices. Choose to take a small bite of 2 or 3 desserts instead of having full pieces, ect. Don't be too strict on yourself, HAVE FUN!!
