Healthier Thanksgiving Choices

Thanksgiving dinner doesn't have to be a complete diet breaker. There are ways around the saturated fat and empty calories that will be placed on the table before you. Below is a video from Fox News in Boston with some tips.
1. Limit your turkey intake to skinless white meat. Try to avoid the dark meat.
2. Even though dried and fresh cranberries are actually good for you, the canned cranberry sauce packs in a lot more unnecessary sugars, so steer clear of that.
3. Common sense would say that you should pack your plate full of vegetables. But for healthy alternatives to the fried onions on top of your casseroles, try using slivered almonds instead.

Make sure you check out the video for good news about dessert. You should stay away from the pie, but there are other delicious treats you can enjoy!!

Healthier Thanksgiving Choices!
