Hints for A Healthy Thanksgiving

Some hints for having a healthy Thanksgiving Day!

Have a light healthy breakfast.

Get out and take a bike ride, walk or a run.

Drink plenty of water.

If you are eating late in the day, have a lite lunch so you don't find yourself so hungry at dinner that you "pig" out.

Again, drink plenty of water. It helps to curb the appetite as well as keeping you hydrated.

Limit your alcohol....remember even a glass of wine can have up to 175 calories per 6 oz. glass.

Use a smaller plate; it helps to limit portions.

Keep foods separate on your plate, i.e. don't let them touch each other. (It's a great way to keep the portions small).

If those desserts look appetizing, have a tiny piece of each. Stay away from the gravies, whipped cream, buttery and cheesy sauces.

After dinner, get out and walk, walk, walk. Don't get caught up in being a couch potato.


Remember you can't work off a bad diet!!
