Hi ,

As we approach Thanksgiving, I wanted to share some tips to help you enjoy the holiday without any guilt or stress about weight gain: 

*Portion Control*: Enjoy a variety of dishes in smaller portions. This way, you can taste everything without overindulging. 

*Balance Your Plate*: Aim for a plate filled with half vegetables, a quarter lean protein (like turkey), and a quarter starches. 

*Eat Slowly*: Savor each bite and eat slowly. It helps in recognizing when you're full and prevents overeating. 

*Stay Hydrated*: Keep drinking water throughout the day. It's easy to confuse thirst with hunger. 

*Limit High-Calorie Foods*: Be mindful of high-calorie additions, opting for healthier alternatives when you can. 

*Stay Active*: Include some physical activity in your day, whether it's a family walk or a playful game. 

*Enjoy Desserts Later*: Give yourself a gap of about three hours after your meal before having dessert. This helps manage portion control and prevents overeating. And remember, it's okay to have a small treat! 

*Moderation is Key*: Allow yourself to enjoy your favorite dishes in moderation. Thanksgiving is a time for celebration, not restriction. 

I hope these tips help you have a delightful and healthy Thanksgiving. 

Remember, it's all about balance and enjoying the moment. Have a blessed and happy Thanksgiving! 

Warm regards,
