How To Stay Slim During The Holiday Season by Melanie Mendelson

you know it. Don't automatically go for more helpings

while you are talking to someone.

6. If you are cooking the food, prepare healthier versions

of traditional dishes. Don't go too far by trying to

completely cut out the fat. Just make some slight changes

such as mashing potatoes with low-fat milk, adding less

butter to the food, and serving more salads and veggies.

Or make the stuffing in a casserole dish outside of turkey,

so it does not soak up the extra fat.

7. Deal with the food-pushing hosts by complimenting them.

When they try to force more food on you, smile. Say how

much you love their food, but unfortunately you are so

full, you can't get in another bite. And that you'll be

delighted if they gave you some of this food to take home,

if there is anything left after the party!

8. Choose the turkey breast meat, since it has fewer

calories then dark meat. Also, most of the fat in a turkey

is contained in the skin. So, if you can, don't eat the

skin. Skinless turkey breast is actually a healthy choice.

But go easy on a fat-laden gravy!

9. Eat small amounts of various foods, as opposed to large

portions of few foods. Sampling everything on the menu

will leave you more satisfied since you've tried everything

there is. But remember, moderation is key.

10. Eat that dessert. The trick here is to eat a small

piece of it. This way you can have your cake and eat it

too!
