Thanksgiving Diet Tips

Let's face it, we aren't going to diet on Thanksgiving.  I'm actually an advocate of taking what I call "diet breaks" at certain strategic points.  Holidays, vacations and other special days are just a few examples on when I feel it's a good time to take a diet break provided you have been working out and following a sensible healthy diet.  

 While tomorrow is a good day to take a diet break, relax , enjoy your food and family. There are a few things you can do to stave of an excess amount of weight and fat gain.  

Here are a few tips you can follow to avoid excess weight/fat gain

• Eat turkey breast (white meat) instead of dark meat.
• Load your plate with greens and other vegetables.
• Take your time when eating, don't just stuff yourself uncontrollably. 
• Put a small amount of desert on your plate.  Let it settle in your belly before deciding on seconds.
