They had a GREAT part that went over the fact that the AVERAGE AMERICAN eat 4500 calories at Thanksgiving dinner FOR THAT ONE MEAL ALONE! (Not counting Breakfast and the OTHER meal.) They showed what the average stomach looks like and the person that was "HELPING" them showed that ONLY his helping of Potatoes fit inside the average tummy. They showed different was to decrease calories in the meal.I also devised a way to not over eat this Food Feast... I am going to serve myself with a regular spoon. I will try a LITTLE of everything, and ONLY have one serving! I will also eat an apple BEFORE I go to dinner!
Good luck to everyone!

    That's awesome. The whole UK TV show saying how fat Americans are. Oh wait... thats nothing new. I guess that's "entertainment" across the pond.

    You know one of the things that suck about that? Alot of people will look at you like.... Are you starving yourself? This is a feast! lol At my house, if you told them about how many calories they were about to consume, it would ruin the meal for them and they'd feel big. That's just my interpretation. I'm going to make my plate just the same as it is every year, only I won't have seconds of anything, and I'm eating SLOWLY! lol

    Good plan! I'm running a 5K on Thanksgiving, so I think I'll be okay on cals. I won't be eating anything else that day. Just maybe a bowl of cereal and a banana.
