Thanksgiving is just around the corner, don’t wait until the last minute to take action for your weight loss. Start to plan your holiday splurges now. Choose healthy, low-fat, low calorie foods for the next two weeks, lose a couple of pounds before Thanksgiving day. Think about how you can make your favorite holiday dishes with a bit less fat and calories. Remember that Thanksgiving is not just about food, it is really about the people you spend the day with.

Roasted and mashed butternut squash with pumpkin pie spices, (no sugar and no butter) it’s delicious and it’s loaded with beta-carotene, a great antioxidant. This is one of my favorite dishes, I make it all the time.
