What's a great way to cut down on what you eat during Thanksgiving dinner? Well, first of all, put yourself in charge of the cooking. Then you can maintain control over what ingredients you use, and how much of the not-so-good ones.
But if you're not in charge? Grab a smaller plate. Less room equals less food - but make sure it's not too small, or you'll go back for seconds and thirds. You can also see if there's any way you can arrange serving dishes away from the table you'll be eating at. Which are you more likely to eat - the marshmallow coated sweet potatoes on the table in front of you, or the marshmallow coated sweet potatoes all the way in the kitchen?
