Plate Reversal!!!!

Here is another key component.....whether it is a day to day buffet or a Thanksgiving feast this is a tip that can be a life changer.

If you are ever in an all you can eat environment.....do a walk through and scope things out before you get a plate....see what the options are.

If you do a once through and you see what healthy options are there that you can enjoy.....fruits, veggies, lean meats etc.  Then you can scope out the stuff you really like.

Make sure you fill up a plate with the healthy stuff eat it first and sit a few minutes...then go back and get a helping of the things you enjoy that are not so healthy...you will find you have no issue getting a bit smaller portion and feeling satisfied if you get that stuff second.

My wife is big on salads so she gets a mongo salad and then she goes after the other stuff the salad fills her so she doesn't gorge on the other goodies.

Use the same strategy on turkey day....your challenge is understanding what the healthy options are and you need to factor in how the food is prepared.
