HOW NOT TO OVEREAT & ENJOY YOUR THANKSGIVING MEAL TODAY

So what’s a formerly fearless foodie to do on a Thanksgiving Holiday that features a dinner table groaning with potentially deadly goodies?

1. Don’t arrive famished. Have a snack an hour or two before

2. Stay away from the finger food at the hors d’oeuvres table.

3. Eat the salad first.

4. Use a salad plate instead of a dinner plate.

5. Taste everything to your liking, but take small portions and resist seconds.

6. Skip the dessert, or at least go easy on it. Fruit is preferable.

7. Limit alcohol intake to one glass of wine, and drink at least one full glass of water.
