The Weight-Loss Skill: Staying in control and making healthy choices during holiday meals

The Challenge:  Thanksgiving is all about food—turkey, gravy, yams, and pie—and many people use it as an excuse to overeat. Overindulging is not only acceptable on this holiday, but often encouraged. What’s more, families usually serve up once-a-year high POINTS® value specialties that we may find hard to resist.

The Solution:  In this meeting, we will learn to successfully navigate the Thanksgiving holiday menu.  We’ll determine in advance which foods we’ll eat and calculate the POINTS values of those foods.  We’ll discuss resources for finding POINTS value friendly recipes, learn how to calculate the POINTS values for favorite family recipes, and plan not just how much we’ll eat but also when and how often. This preparation will make us feel in control at the holiday table so we can stay on track amid the gluttony that surrounds us.
