Philadelphia Personal Trainer Healthy Holiday Tips

These several tips can shave hundreds of calories from your Holiday meal.

Avoid skipping breakfast or lunch on Thanksgiving
Use fat-free chicken broth to baste the turkey
Use sugar substitutes in place of actual sugar
Reduce oil and butter, even if only by 20% or 30%
Although Thanksgiving Day is generally for being with family and friends, try to take at least 30 minutes for a brisk walk or in-home workout
Consider plain yogurt or fat-free sour cream in potatoes or casseroles
Drink more water throughout the day so that you will feel satisfied sooner
Drinking alcohol? Consider wine as opposed to beer or other forms of alcohol, and aim to limit alcohol intake to no more than two drinks.
