‘WAIST’ AWAY THIS THANKSGIVING

Happy Thanksgiving, fellow Lake County residents. We know it’s beyond tempting to gobble down a fat-filled, high-calorie meal on Thanksgiving Day. But here are some tips to help you avoid being as stuffed as your turkey.

• Make your plate colorful—with greens, carrots, beets, and peppers. Avoid a second helping of mashed potatoes & gravy.

• Eat breakfast—if you’re starving when the Thanksgiving meal is served, you’ll undoubtedly overeat.

• Walk after the meal to get your metabolism going.

• Cook with healthy ingredients. For instance, add chicken broth, herbs, or roasted garlic for flavor instead of butter.
