Forget the diet and loosen your belt – Thanksgiving is almost here...
Go ahead and gobble - but if you'd like to minimize some of the damage, here are a few dishes to skip the seconds on:
• Dark meat turkey with skin has 70 more calories and 3 times more fat per serving than white meat without the skin.
• Creamed spinach is loaded with saturated fat – eat at your own risk.
• Canned cranberry sauce is like edible soda – and packed with sugar. If there’s a fresh cranberry sauce on the table, eat that instead.
• Candied yams are basically a side of starch and sugar. Have a sweet potato instead.
• The green bean casserole with fried onions on top is swimming in fat and sodium. Skip the seconds on those.
• Pecan pie: 500 calories and 37 grams of fat per slice. Cheesecake: 700 calories and 29 grams of fat. Pumpkin pie: Priceless. It’s got half the fat and calories.
