Prepare for a Healthy Thanksgiving
|
| Before you go shopping for your Thanksgiving meal, plan ahead with these substitutions:
1. Instead of sugar, use cinnamon and vanilla.
2. Skip canned cranberries and prepare fresh with orange juice.
3. Use low fat broth instead of cream in soups.
4. For casseroles use skim milk and low fat cheese instead of cream and high fat cheese.
5. Make a stuffing using whole grain bread and turkey sausage.
6. Serve fresh vegetables or fruit as appetizers and skip the fatty chips and dip spread.
7. Use as many fresh vegetables and fresh fruit as possible.
8. Bake sweet potatoes instead of sweet potato pie.
9. Be sure to complete 30-minutes of Movement/Exercise in the morning so you feel good about yourself and sticking to your Exercise Regimen.
10. If you are going to cheat - CHEAT WELL. Don't just grab based on temptation and impulse. Decide if you really want what you are about to eat.
You can be stronger than the holiday "bingefest" that usually occurs. You control your choices. Have fun, make great choices, enjoy your food and feel great about yourself!
Yours in health,
Robert
