How to Not To Over Eat On ThanksgivingAwareness is Key! 1. Eat a healthy breakfast Start your day with a healthy breakfast, such as two eggs and whole-grain toast and a side of mixed greens, or any combination that’s high in protein and fiberor a healthy breakfast protein shake. 2. Don’t go overboard on appetizers It’s easy to consume 1,500 calories before the turkey even hits the table. But instead of skipping the baked brie altogether, fill most of your plate with vegetables and healthier choices, then leave just a little room for a taste of the indulgent snack. An average serving of dip or cheese is one ounce, roughly the size of your two thumbs. 3. Watch your portion sizes The average plate is 14 inches wide, and we tend to finish 98 percent of the food on our plate.No wonder it’s easy to eat too much on Thanksgiving! To trick your brain into thinking you’ve eaten enough, try using a smaller plate and/or fill half a normal plate with salad. (Just go easy on the dressing!) 4. Enjoy your favorite dishes One of the best things about Thanksgiving is the memories and traditions of the day. Don’t limit yourself from enjoying your favorite dishes, but only have a small scoop of those that are less healthy. Another option is to PRACTICE MINDFULNESS while you’re eating. Don’t munch mindlessly — slow down and really savor and enjoy what you’re eating. Don’t eat out of bags or bowls — put your food on a plate. 5.
