<br>Hungry Girl Today: 11.20.09
<br>
<br>Getting nervous about next week's food-fest? Read this handy guide to make 
<br>sure you don't make any rookie mistakes, plus check out our bestest holiday 
<br>recipes... Happy, happy!   
<br>	
<br>		
<br>Thanksgiving TRUE or FALSE!
<br>
<br>"To prepare for the big meal, I should eat as little as possible earlier in the 
<br>day and save ALL my calories for dinner." 
<br>
<br>FALSE! This is actually a terrible idea. Eat a substantial but sensible breakfast 
<br>and a light meal several hours before the Big One. Otherwise, you'll likely be 
<br>SUPER-HUNGRY and make bad food decisions during your holiday meal. Not 
<br>to mention, you'll probably be cranky. 
<br>
<br>"I should drink a lot of water throughout the day, especially right before the 
<br>meal." 
<br>
<br>TRUE! A glass or two of water before the meal will take the edge off your 
<br>hunger and help you recognize fullness faster. Plus, drinking a lot of water is 
<br>pretty good advice for ANY day of the year. 
<br>
<br>"At dinner, I should ONLY eat steamed veggies, salad, and lean turkey 
<br>breast -- that's all." 
<br>
<br>FALSE! Well, you could do that if you want to be miserable and torture 
<br>yourself, but we're not into self-deprivation. You can STILL celebrate and 
<br>enjoy the meal without going overboard. So sure, bulk up on the lighter stuff 
<br>(salad, broth-based soup, white-meat turkey, non-creamy veggies, etc.), but 
<br>also allow yourself to take a few bites of your favorites. Just be smart and 
<br>keep it moderate. And maybe add some exercise to your day of festivities!
<br>
<br>"I can have dessert without feeling guilty as long as I don't overdo it."
<br>
<br>TRUE! If you fill up on protein and veggies at dinner, you shouldn't be too 
<br>hungry by the time dessert rolls around. So grab a small sweet treat and pair 
<br>it with some flavored tea or coffee -- maybe contribute some dessert-
<br>flavored coffee or holiday-themed tea to the feast. (Celestial Seasonings 
<br>Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride and Gingerbread Spice are GREAT.) And as for the 
<br>stuff you chew, choose wisely. If you know that a sliver of your cousin Kim's 
<br>three-layer caramel cheesecake always leads to four and a half slices, pass 
<br>up that trigger food for something you can enjoy without going into a sugar-
<br>coma.
