Healthy Eating for Thanksgiving


With the holiday season just around the corner, this means family gatherings, holiday parties and of course, the temptation of delicious foods.  A study from the National Institutes of Health shows that holiday weight gain accumulates over time, and may lead to obesity later in life. On average most Americans gain a pound and a half during the winter holidays, and don't ever lose it.

Decide What You Want to Eat Before Hitting the Buffet


An all-you-can eat buffet offers many temptations, but instead of indulging in them all, peruse the buffet first to see which foods are the healthiest and most appetizing. Fill up your plate with healthy green salads and take small tastes of any high fat foods you truly love. Another smart option is to use a smaller plate.
