If you don't like it, don't eat it. It's an old saw, but it works. It takes about 20 minutes for your brain and stomach to communicate that you're full. Talk a lot. Go easy on the alcohol.
Some people tend to overeat when they ve been drinking.
Fill your plate shrewdly. Take small portions of rich foods and larger portions of lighter foods, such as green salads and steamed vegetables. Choose the white meat on the turkey and remove all or part of the skin. Select a fruit pie for dessert instead of pecan pie or a dense chocolate torte. Eat the filling, but don t finish the crust.
