Dieting? Go Ahead and Enjoy a Traditional Thanksgiving Dinner
With a little planning, you can leave the table satisfied without gaining weight.
If you don't want to be seduced by the dessert table, try one of these approaches:
- Take one bite (not one slice) of every dessert you like, so you won't feeldeprived.
- If you can't resist a piece of pie, take one, but pass up the stuffing, rolls andpotatoes.
- Walk around the block instead of eating dessert. Your desire for it will fade, ifyou wait long enough.
- Offer to clean up the dishes instead of eating dessert. By the time you are done, most desserts will be gone, and the remainder will look messy and unappetizing.
