Thanksgiving

Experts say 'portion control' is the key to avoiding weight gain during the holidays, which they also claim, most people never lose afterwards. With that in mind, controlling portions might be a little difficult if, as Time Magazine asserts, our Thanksgiving dinners are the same as eating one of the following: 9 large boxes of fries at McDonald’s  5 XXL Grilled Stuft Beef Burritos Taco Bell 7 Who

Thanksgiving is on record as being America’s second-favorite holiday (Christmas wins first prize, of course), so it makes sense that Thanksgiving lore is a part of our shared cultural history and something we start learning early in our lives.

Thanksgiving means the whole family—in-laws, distant cousins, grandparents and grandchildren—gets together to share a meal, catch up and generally spend some quality time together. If you're the host, it can be a challenge to entertain such a broad gathering of people.

Thanksgiving without turkey would be like Easter without eggs. But could it happen?

If you run the risk of eating so much of the main course that you can’t entertain the thought of enjoying dessert this Thanksgiving, then have we got some big news for you.

Thanksgiving is almost here, which means we start seeing turkeys everywhere—on TV, in our children's school drawings, running through our dreams every single night while we sleep ... you get the idea. And eventually these poor turkeys will be inside many of our overstuffed stomachs as well.
