Nicholson Clinic’s Thanksgiving Day Menu

Nov 17, 2015

Thanksgiving is just around the corner—do you have a plan to keep from overeating or filling up on unhealthy foods?

Remember: Thanksgiving is about so much more than the food on your table. But, we understand, Thanksgiving dinner is a tradition. It may be the only day of the year that you and your family prepare a real feast. So how do you enjoy Thanksgiving without overdoing it?

Plan a Thanksgiving menu full of healthy choices. These foods are so delicious, nobody will miss what’s not there. Limit yourself to appropriate portions, and avoid spending the day “grazing.” (For more tips on having a healthy Thanksgiving, check out this article.)
