8 Tips to help you through those holiday dinners:

*Drink a glass or two of water before eating or use soup as an appetizer (if available) to help you get fuller faster

*Use a smaller plate

*Cover most of your plate with salad and vegetables

*Aim for turkey as your primary meat due to its lean quality, but keep it under 5 or 6 ounces

*Chill out on the candied yams…

*Relax on the mash potatoes, typically a housing for insidious agents like butter, salt and cream

*Fat Free Eggnog

*Avoid over consuming alcohol, calories add up quicker when you drink them
