Just got this in da mail (e-mail, that is). Who the fuck??? As a FatMans, I wholeheartedly disapprove of this message. Number 10 is not possible to due to 1-9.

The following message is from The Wellness Program:

Over the past 20 years, portion sizes in the American diet have become “super-sized”. We are now consuming an additional 100 calories in snack foods and beverages which equal an additional 15 pounds of weight gained every year. To avoid overeating this Thanksgiving holiday, here are a few sensible dining tips:

1. Exercise before the meal. Increased physical activity for 30 to 60 minutes prior to the meal helps suppress the appetite and increases the body’s metabolism to burn calories more efficiently.
2. Do not starve yourself before the holiday meal. Eating a sensible breakfast and/or lunch will help you control your dinner intake.
3. Drink 2 to 3 glasses of water before the meal to help decrease your stomach capacity.
4. Survey the assortment of foods available and select small portions of your favorite foods.
5. Shrink your portion sizes by selecting a smaller plate.
6. Do not overload your plate. Remember you can enjoy the leftovers the next day.
7. Select more fresh fruits and vegetables as part of the holiday meal.
8. Avoid eating meals while watching television (sorry sport fans).
9. Plan activities such as group board games that do not focus on food.
10. Have a Happy Thanksgiving.
