9 Tips For A Healthy Thanksgiving

 


With a little know-how, you can satisfy your desire for traditional favourites and still enjoy a guilt-free Thanksgiving feast. After all, being stuffed is a good idea only if you are a turkey! 🦃
1. GET ACTIVE - create a calorie deficit by exercising to burn off extra calories before you ever indulge in your favorite foods. 🚶‍♀️

2. EAT BREAKFAST - eating a small meal in the morning can give you more control over your appetite so you won’t be starving when you arrive at the gathering. 🥚

3. LIGHTEN UP - make your recipes healthier with less fat, sugar, and calories. ⚖

4. POLICE YOUR PORTIONS - before you fill your plate, survey the buffet table and decide what you’re going to choose. Then select reasonable-sized portions of foods you cannot live without. 🍽

5. SKIP THE SECONDS - leftovers are much better the next day, and if you limit yourself to one plate, you are less likely to overeat and have more room for a delectable dessert. 🥧

6. SLOWLY SAVOUR - Eating slowly, putting your fork down between bites, and tasting each mouthful is one of the easiest ways to enjoy your meal and feel satisfied with one plate full of food. ⏲

7. GO EASY ON ALCOHOL - don’t forget those alcohol calories that can add up quickly. 🍷

8. BE REALISTIC - The holiday season is a time for celebration. With busy schedules and so many extra temptations, this is a good time to strive for weight maintenance instead of weight loss. ✅

9. FOCUS ON FAMILY - Thanksgiving is not just about the delicious bounty of food. It’s a time to celebrate relationships with family and friends. The main event should be spending quality time together, not just what is on the buffet. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦
