Thanksgiving dinner can easily spoil a diet or just leave you feeling stuffed, bloated and unable to partake in the merriment of the holidays. Thanksgiving also marks the beginning of the holiday season, so overeating on this day can set you on course to gain excess weight throughout the next month or two.

Remember to chew your meal slowly. Thanksgiving is the ideal time to sit down, eat your meal slowly and relish every bite.
