WEIGHT BAIT

THANKSGIVING WILL BAIT YOU

EVERY SINGLE TIME

7-Tips to make 

THANKSGIVING DINNER 

healthier & NOT "weight bait"

1- USE WHOLE GRAIN STUFFING AND NO MORE BUTTER IN YOUR RECIPE. SUBSTITUTE TURKEY GRAVY FOR MOIST FLAVOR

2- USE ROLLS THAT ARE WHOLE GRAIN FOR FIBER & YOU'LL HAVE LESS BECAUSE THEY ARE MORE FILLING

3- BASTE TURKEY PRIOR TO COOKING WITH to cooking OLIVE OIL, ROSEMARY & SAGE AND SALT & PEPPER. NO MORE BUTTER.

4- "FRESH" Steamed Green Beans (ELIMINATE THE CALORIE FAT LADDEN GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE) TOPPED WITH 4 SLICES OF BACON & CRUMBLED (NO BACON GREASE) 

5- FRESH FROZEN SWEET CORN ADDED TO YOUR STUFFING RECIPE WORKS TO KEEP THIS THANKSGIVING FAVORITE ON THE MENU

6- MASHED POTATOES WITHOUT THE SOUR CREAM AND USE LESS BUTTER. IF YOU USE RED NEW POTATOES LEAVE THE SKIN ON, ADD ROSEMARY, SALT AND PEPPER, FOR A GOURMET LOOK AND TASTE.

7- DRINK 12-oz WATER 30 MINUTES BEFORE DINNER - NOT ANY CLOSER TO YOUR MEAL. AND OPT FOR ICED WATER WITH A LEMON SLICE OR FEW DROPS OF LEMON ESSENTIAL OIL DURING YOUR MEAL.

THESE SMALL CHANGES WILL NOT TAKE AWAY FROM THIS HOLIDAY BUT THEY WILL HELP YOU STAY ON TRACK FOR A HEALTHIER AND SMARTER YOU. AND YOU WILL FEEL BETTER FOR THESE CHOICES. 

I AM A BIG BELIEVER IN "PRESENTATION" SO I GARNISH MY TURKEY WITH PARSLEY, CRABAPPLES AND ORANGE SLICES. I MAKE MY OWN CRANBERRY SAUCE WITH A LOT LESS SUGAR AND SOMETIMES I ADD ORANGES THAT ARE SLICED AND DICED. DID I EVEN MENTION THAT I LOVE TO COOK?

I HAVE MADE THESE SMALL CHANGES OUT OF RESPECT FOR INDIVIDUALS IN MY FAMILY WITH DIABETES AND HEART DISEASE. AND FOR "ME" SO I CAN AVOID THESE HEREDITARY HAND-ME-DOWN HEALTH ISSUES. 

I NEVER WORRY ABOUT DESSERT IT'S ALWAYS ONE SLICE OF PUMPKIN PIE AND I JUST ENJOY IT WITH A SMALL DROP OF COOL WHIP INSTEAD OF WHIPPED CREAM. 

PLUS IT'S ABOUT ENJOYING A MEAL WITH FAMILY AND/OR FRIENDS AND BEING THANKFUL. 

TRY TO FIT IN AS LITTLE AS A 15-30 MIN WALK BEFORE DINNER IF POSSIBLE - IT WILL BOOST YOUR METABOLISM WHICH WILL HELP YOU BURN MORE OF YOUR THANKSGIVING DINNER OFF ALL DAY LONG

ESPECIALLY ON THIS SPECIAL HOLIDAY THAT IS BASED ON"THE MEAL"
