[...] 102, by the way. The 100 mark came and went and I didn’t even notice. I guess it was my Thanksgiving post that made that mark. So here I stand, coming up on the new year and soon to become a half year [...]

Hey guys! I’m about to go out to dinner with some family. We’re in Roanoke VA at Liz’s mother’s house for Thanksgiving. So I only have a minute to respond. I just wanted to say thanks for adding your awesome thoughts and insight! Talk to you soon! Eric.

Some great advice. I'm not American so I wish you a Happy Thanksgiving (I had my turkey and stuffing a month ago and it was good) but these tips can cover any big day. Thanks! Neil´s last blog post..SMART Goal Setting

How about adding “Don’t go without eating for long periods of time?” It may sound counter-intuitive, but I bet a lot of people will attempt to go hungry so they can have the additional calories at meal time. If you go without eating in-between meals (healthy snacks of course), you stand a much greater chance of riding the binge train; moderation is the key.

Great tips, Eric, every one. I think chewing slowly is important. How often is an entire day spent in preparation only to have everyone snorting the meal. Chewing slowly isn't only good for our digestion, it's a sign or respect. Writer Dad´s last blog post..Pen and Ink

Very timely! I've been thinking about strategies, myself, as my husband and I were just invited to a huge traditional Christmas smorgasbord in two weeks' time. Last year we rolled out of there with stomach aches. This year I figured my food preferences have changed enough that I'll manage not to overeat (I did TWO Martinmas dinners this year without overeating), but now I'm thinking I'll try some of your advice on as well!

Eric,

Some excellent tips for surviving the food part of the holidays.

I especially agree with the sampling and not finishing desserts. If you watch Anthony Bourdain, you’ll see him getting one of everything but not necessarily finishing all of it.

This may seem wasteful in our society. Especially with the “clean your plate” crowd from my generation. It is a powerful suggestion.

Great and timely post.

A most timely and helpful post. However, for Christmas, I think it would be a good idea to give samples of what to do after Christmas dinner; specially as a family.

Just a suggestion.

Hey Eric,

Taking our time to chew and taste our food will help us to feel full because our brain only register that we are full only after 20 minutes from the time we ate. This can definitely help to prevent overeating.

Enjoy your Thanksgiving Eric and yes, watch your diet

Cheers
