\"PixarWhen Thanksgiving arrives, we are faced with truckloads of turkey, these potatoes, those potatoes, cranberry sauce, stuffing with OH so much lovely gravy \u2026 and that\u2019s before those pies even happen!<\/span><\/p>\n

We know we need to eat less, but who is going to deprive themselves, really, at the T-day table? Given this, what\u2019s a strategy that can prevent this annual over-consumption?<\/span><\/p>\n

The solution is to eat small at the fork\/spoon and take your time between bites. This lets your brain get the \u201cfull signals\u201d before you overeat. In other words, you get to eat all you want \u2026 you just want less! <\/span><\/p>\n

And so the rule of thumb is, “Don’t gobble like a turkey, and you won’t be stuffed like one at the end of the meal”, LOL!<\/span><\/p>\n
