Your Thanksgiving balanced plate
You can stick with your health goals, even on a food-centric holiday like Thanksgiving. Lean into the balanced plate approach at Thanksgiving this year. This will help you enjoy your meal, and feel good too. Here’s how:
Hungry for seconds? Go for more non-starchy carbs.
What about extras that don’t fit on a balanced plate, like gravy, cranberry sauce, marshmallows on top of sweet potato casserole and (of course!) dessert? We say enjoy them—in moderation. Choose small servings of the “extra” foods that you just couldn’t imagine Thanksgiving without. Savor the flavors. End dinner with a walk around the block to enjoy the company of your loved ones. Remember, the food—and the memories—only come around once a year.
