Did you know that this Thanksgiving, you're likely to consume over 4500 calories?! Here are 13 Thanksgiving diet tips to help you stay slim this holiday season and a reality check on how many calories are on that single plate!
TIP #1: Don't eat the Turkey skin, and stick to white meat.
TIP #2: Use jarred gravy instead of the homemade kind.
TIP #3: Moderation, ladies and gents. Use a smaller dinner plate and refuse to go up for seconds. Chances are you're had enough appetizers to feel full.

TIP #5: Stick to wine if you must have alchohol. Have it with dinner, not before while you are snacking on appetizers. It will make impair your judgement for the main meal, and cause you to eat more than you would've liked.

TIP #10: Get moving by help cleaning up.
TIP #11: Fill your plate first with the healthiest options. Add unhealthy side dishes like candied sweet potatoes last.
TIP #12: Drink calorie free beverages.
TIP #13: Plan ahead. Know what foods you never get to have and know you love, so you can splurge, eat lighter appetizers, and plan to have a light salad later if you're hungry again later.
