Thanksgiving turkeyWhen you're watching what you eat -- whether to lose weight or just to be careful about the foods you put in your body -- there's a nice side perk ... you set a great example for everyone around you. But sometimes, you just don't want to draw dieting attention to yourself. Women's Health has some great tips for dieting on the down-low:

  • This Thanksgiving, you're likely to have a relative who keeps pushing second helpings. You can enjoy the day (and avoid the chorus of "eat, eat!") by piling your plate high with veggies, white meat, and the other more healthful selections. Be sure to bring a dish to pass, too. Your hostess will appreciate the help and you'll be thankful for at least one truly diet-friendly dish.
  • When watching the game and watching everyone else munching on hot wings and nachos, you might not want to stand out with your baby carrots and cucumbers. Bring some healthier game fare that everyone can enjoy such as a healthier dip with low-fat yogurt instead of sour cream; have chips and raw veggies for dipping too.
