If, like me, you want to eat healthy at Thanksgiving without feeling confined to the vegetable tray, then you might consider these five simple strategies I plan on using to eat healthy at Thanksgiving dinner. This year, I plan on coming to the table mildly full so that I can choose to eat the foods that appeal to me without feeling the need to prepare for a yearlong famine. Fill your plate with meat and vegetables first. As a good rule of thumb, I plan on filling one-third of my plate with some sort of meat and the remaining two-thirds with healthier vegetables. Wait at least 5-minutes before dishing up desserts.

Key Takeaways:

• Eat a healthy snack shortly before the actual dinner begins. This prevents overeating for people.
• Fill your plate with meat and vegetables first. This helps in getting fiber and protein.
• Wait at least 5-minutes before dishing up desserts. It acts a form of impulse control.
