8 Helpful Tips To Have That Healthier Thanksgiving

Yes, Thanksgiving is about that big and delicious meal that you should eat. All of these delicious desserts and, of course, the roast turkey centerpiece with all accessories. Who can resist them?

Well, if you want to eat all those deals that does not mean that you will destroy your goal of a lifestyle that is more healthy. Here are some very good tips you might want to remember, so you can eat healthy during Thanksgiving.

1. Use less bread and more vegetables in your stuffing

Replace a portion of your bread to the onion, fruit (dried apples and cranberries), celery and onions. 1 This step alone will reduce the calories that you put into your stuffing.

2. Add more pumpkin

Pumpkin is one of the healthy parts of a Thanksgiving feast. Canned them are high in vitamin content more than the fresh them. Go add the pumpkin in your mashed up potatoes, breads, soups and even in your pie.

3. Make sure that you will not forget your vegetables

Bookmark all these vegetables in season and try to incorporate them into Thanksgiving dishes. You can play with beans, squash, yams and sweet potatoes and play your dishes with these vegetables in season.

4. Never rush

Do not eat very quickly, as if there was no tomorrow. Be sure to taste the food you eat so you will find that satiety when you're really drunk. If you eat quickly, you tend to ignore these feelings of fullness and get to eat more. There's always tomorrow for you to enjoy these residues. So enjoy the meal.

5. Indulge in fun and sporty activities

It would be best to be active this season. You can go out and have it nice that long walk, play touch football with friends and family or you can just ride around the neighborhood with your bike. You can burn up calories, which will really help reduce your calorie ratio, so you will not add these few extra pounds.

6. Eat pies moderate

Thanksgiving celebrations will always have delicious pies. Do not eat too much cake. It would be healthier if you eat them, pecan and pumpkin pies, because they are less in calories.

7. Lower fat content in your homemade sauce

If you have a gadget that separates fat, use it. Or you can refrigerate them juice from your Turkey, before you do them in the sauce, so you can take off fat before you do it in the sauce. With this method, you save yourself and your family from a lot of fat in the process and will make your homemade sauce a lot less greasy.

8. Have lots of fun!

Thanksgiving only happens once every year. Be sure to have lots of fun with your family and your family traditions, then enjoy the Thanksgiving meal
