9 Tips to Avoid Overeating on Thanksgiving

6. Chat a lot

You will notice that when you talk and laugh a lot as you are eating that you will eat a lot less. Just make sure you do not scare the other guests away by talking or laughing with food in your mouth.

7. Get second helping only if you are hungry

Do not fall for the taste even if it is the tastiest food ever. It is true that you get to eat this once in a year, but if you want to avoid over eating, resist the temptation and eat the salad or fruits to make you feel full.

8. Imagine yourself suffering the next day

If you have a vivid imagination, then let it play and think about how ill or uncomfortable you will feel the same night or the next day. This is usually a good deterrent to over eating.

9. Think of the poor turkey getting killed for you

It is cruel, no doubt about it. Think of the processes involved to get that turkey on your table and you might even lose your appetite. Take this drastic step only if you really do not want to overeat.

Sometimes, it is ok to over eat, as it is the day for celebrating life and the gifts it has to offer. But if you must avoid it, then follow the tips above.
