Heading Home For Thanksgiving?

It is so easy to overeat during the holidays...in a different setting, on a different schedule, so many food options!  Let's review some pointers to stay guilt-free this holiday!

• Make goals and keep them realistic!  No need to focus on weight loss during the holidays and add stress.
• Use smaller plates if they're available.
• Try eating a healthy snack before the get together to reduce your hunger.
• Move away from food and TALK!
• Do a walk-by before actually deciding what food you will pick up.
• What are you doing the rest of the day?  Playing football or sitting on the couch watching football? Make them balance.
• Don't forget beverages can be filled with calories!
• Portion sizes!  Take small bites of the calorie-rich items that are a must-taste!

Don't forget to ENJOY!  It's the holidays, enjoy the family, the food and the atmosphere!
