Thanksgiving Top 10-ish Eat Right Tips
It's almost Thanksgiving, so to ease your diet stress, here are the top 10 tips from the top nutrition experts - registered dietitians - to help you have a happy, but healthy holiday!
Savor the Moment
Allison Stevens, MS, RD, of Healthy Living Healthy Flavors in Austin, TX tells folks to avoid rushing a second helping of food. She says, "pause for 10-15 minutes and have a glass of water. Chances are you're not really hungry anymore." "Savor your meals this holiday season, for your palate as well as your waistline," says Tricia O'Keefe Girbal, RD, Registered Dietitian, Nutrition Consultant in Silicon Valley, CA "Not only does slow eating allow for a greater sense of satisfaction, but a new study finds that slow eating impacts appetite control and may decrease your chances of overeating. What's important is to listen to cues coming from your body and eat until you are almost full, not entirely full."
