Healthy Thanksgiving Eating Tips

A big holiday dinner isn’t going to make you fat any more than a day or two eating cabbage soup is going to make you thin. When it comes to maintaining a healthy weight, or even just trying to eat a healthy diet, I suggest that you not focus too much on your best days or your worst days.In the long run, what really matters is how you eat most days.

So, enjoy your holiday. And I’ll see you back here next week, with more quick and dirty tips for eating well and feeling fabulous.
