It’s possible to enjoy thanksgiving dinner without gaining unwanted pounds…really!  Here are some helpful guidelines for you to follow before you eat your thanksgiving feast 🙂

1. Eat breakfast!  Many times people will refrain from eating the whole day so they can consume as much turkey and delicious side dishes as they want without feeling guilty.

2. Eat a small to medium size apple about 45-30min before your meal, the fiber from the apple will give you the feeling of being full.

3. Drink 8oz of water 15min before your meal, this will also give you that full feeling.

Why am I suggesting you should be full before your meal?  Well, you won’t actually be full but you won’t be starved either.  By not being starved when you sit down to feast, you’ll make better decisions about your serving sizes and still be able to enjoy everything on the table 🙂
