Some tips on how to avoid all those tasty carbs this Thanksgiving.
#1. Root for using rutabagas instead of mashed potatoes. Boil them as you would potatoes, and mash them up with butter and cream and a little salt. Add garlic powder to taste. Yummy! 21 carbs for one cup of rutabagas. 30 carbs for one small potato. *Hint: mashed cauliflower with butter and cream is also a great substitute for mashed potatoes
#2. Leave the sugar out of cranberry sauce. Here is our sugar free version:

#3. Say no to marshmallows on top of your sweet potato casserole. A medium sweet potato has 25 carbs.
#4. Make a low carb stuffing: Here is one of our recipes:

#6. Don't save up for your Thanksgiving Day meal. Eat healthy early in the day so you are not famished by dinner time and won't over eat.
#7. LOAD UP ON TURKEY, and save some for those great turkey leftovers.
