Helpful Tips For A Healthier Thanksgiving
-
- Don’t skip breakfast- Many people skip their breakfast the morning of Thanksgiving to save their appetite, but you should avoid doing this! Eating in the morning helps with your body’s digestion of food for the rest of the day. Also, it can lead to overeating at mealtime.
-
- Get active- A great way to make sure you avoid over-consuming calories is by creating a caloric surplus. Going for a run, working out, even playing some football with family can help burn off excess calories and ready your metabolism.
-
- Avoid overusing ingredients in recipes that add unnecessary calories. Most recipes require more than what is needed and if you skim some salt or sugar off the recipe no one would notice!
-
- Chew slowly- Enjoy your food! If you chew very fast it can lead to overeating so slow down and enjoy your food. You will feel fuller faster if you eat slower!
-
- Skip out on seconds and watch the alcohol intake- It is easy to overdo it with alcohol and end up consuming more calories than intended.
-
- Make sure you hydrate- drink lots of water! Being dehydrated may lead to feeling less full and eating more than you need to.
