CHUCK NORRIS .

Last week, I began to answer
a reader's question about in-
creasing our self-control in an
overindulging holiday season.
I gave the first six points of my
pie- to post-game meal strategy
in overcoming the consump-
tion warS, particularly as it re-.
lares to Thanksgiving feasts
and leftovers. (Please go to cre-
ators.corn to read Part I if you
did not catch it.)
I covered priming the holiday
pump with da'fly positive men-
tal input, hydration, nonalco-
holic beverages, butter alterna-
tives, healthy hors d'oeuvres,'
lowalorie side dishes, etc.
Here are my remaining
nine points for gaining victo-
ry over holiday gorging:
--ff you're making a leafy
salad, dump the typical ice-
berg or ronaine lettuce for a
la,s00u0000'ing turk00',)' temt00tatic,n',
... saves another 60 calories."
If you remove the turkey skin,
you'll save even more calo-
ries. And don't use turkey fat
or giblets in gravy. Instead,
use fat-free turkey broth or
packet (powdered) gravy. Al-
so, stuffing cooked outside the
normally do. As many Euro-
peans do, focus on enjoying
the taste more than filling
your tummy. In September,
Masaaki Eto, M.D., informed
delegates at the European As-
sociation for the Study of Dia-
betes annual meeting that re-
fancied mix or spinach. Scrap
the croutons, bacon bits and
fatty dressings, such as ranch
and blue cheese. Instead,. add
a crazy mix of colored veggies
-- a rainbow of natural nutri-
ents, with some black, red or
pinto beans, slightly sprin-
turkey has half the calories.
--Some swear by using
smaller utensils, saying we
can shed pounds by doing so.
With plates, forks and spoons
being supersized alongside
our appetites, Johns Hopkins
Health Alerts cited recent re.
search that we will eat less if
our shovels (utensils) are
smaller. But another new
study published in the Jour-
nal of Consumer Research
discovered that the larger the
fork the less people eat. (The
rationale is that the brain
doesn't believe hunger is sati-
ated with small utelasils.) So
you'll have to do a little trial
for yourself-- maybe with a
combination of larger forks
and smaller plates! One thing
is certain: If you place your
utensils down when you're
between bites, you will fur-
ther belabor your bloating.
--Consciously chew your
food twice as long as you
cent research revealed that
extensive chewing fuels the
release of two intestinal pep-
tides that reduce appetite and
food consumption in those
who are obese. And if you go
for a second helping of food to
compliment the chef or ap-
pease your stomach's yearn-
ings, then you know what to
do: Treat yourself to a single
serving of one of the lower-
calorie entrees on the table.
--Respectfully prompt con-
versation during dinner.
When we talk, we obviously
don't eat and allow our stom-
achs to expand with what is
already inside them. Share
and celebrate the holidays.
Ask guests what childhood
customs they cherished while
growing up. Give guests writ-
ten facts about the history of
Thanksgiving (or Christmas),
and ask them to read them
aloud. Or talk about health and
fitness goals for the holidays.
kled with vinaigrette.
--Fruit salads are amazing,
but allow the vibrant natural
colors and tastes of the fruits
to market their appeal more
than the drippings engulfing
them. Few ever will notice
that you've junked the Jell-O
and cut the calories with light
whipped cream.
--And regarding that
mouthwatering turkey, re-
member that white meat
means light meat, as it has
fewer calories. CBS News,
summarizing an interview
with registered dietitian Cyn-
thia Sass on "The Early
Show," said: "ff you love dark
meat, going for the drumstick
will save you a little -- 240
calories compared (with) 270
-- but because much of what's
in a drumstick is bone and
(because) it takes longer to
eat, you may feel like you're
eating more. And you may use
less gravy; eating a ladle less

Veterans Day Parade and
Ceremony: I thought I'd try
to get this information out
again so that veterans might
take advantage of a possible
increase in their Social Se-
curity beneiit.
There is a possible extra
Social Security benefit for
those with active duty be-
tween January 1957 and Dec.
31, 2001.
See the website and notes
below to possibly increase
your Social Security benefits.
--You may qualify for a
higher Social Security pay-
ment because of your mili-
tary service, for active du-
ty any time from 1957
through 2001 (the program
was done away with Jan. 1,
2002).
--Up to $1,200 per year of
earnings credited at time of
application -- which can
make a substantial difference
in Social Security monthly
payments upon your retire-
ment.
--You must bring your
DD-214 to the Social Securi-
ty Office and you must ask
for this benefit to receive it.
Social Security website:
ssa.gov/retire2/military.ht
m. This is something to put
in your files for when you
applyfor Social Security
down the road.
--It is not just for retirees,
but anyone who has served
on active duty between Janu-
ary 1957 and Dec. 31, 2001.
And guess what? This isn't
automatic and the news isn't
disseminated automatically by
the Social Security Adminis-
tration. You have to ask for it.
Don't delay, apply for it

I posted this information
on the Facebook page for
Plumas County Veterans
Service and the Indian Val-
ley American Legion. How-
ever, I was asked about this
Nov. 11 at the Greenville
Post-game meal strategies
--Instead of immediately and
lethargically going over to the
couches after dinner, encour-
age others to take a pre-dessert
30-minute walk with you. You
will burn calories while bond-
ing with your guests.
--And when it comes to
dessert, I'm all for nuts,but
packing on the pecans can also
pack on the pounds. Research
low-fat, low-sugar pie recipes.
Prefer the pumpkin pie even
over apple, and opt for
whipped cream toppings o,er
ice cream. Sass calculated that
"a half-cup scoop of premium
vanilla ice cream tacks on an
extra 250 calories, as opposed
to just 25 for 2 tablespoons of
whipped cream." Light ver-
sions are even better.
--Lastly, because alcohol
can be an appetite stimulant,
consider just drinking water
or coffee after dinner, And if
you bypass the eggnog, you'll
spare yourself hundreds of
additional calories. As the
University of Rochester
documented, a 12-ounce can of
regular beer contains 140 -
200 calories: and a light beer
has 100 or more calories. A 4-
ounce glass of wine has 62 -
160 calories, and a single shot
of liquor has 115 - 200 calo-
ries. And 1 cup of eggnog has
343 calories! It takes 2,1.00
jumping jacks to burn off 8
ounces of eggnog!
If you heed and utilize these
pre- to post-game meal strate-
gies, I guarantee you that you
will not only gobble more
than you gorge but also cut
calories and conquer the holi-
day consumption wars.
And remember this most of
all: According to Harvard
Health Publications, watch-
ing football on TV burns
about 70 calories an hour.

CliP thankful
safe holiday drivers
It's that time of the year to
be thankful for many things
in one's life, and one of those
things should be careful and
defensive driving by family,
friends and other motorists
on the road, says the Califor-
nia Highway Patrol.
The CHP will be keeping a
watchful eye on the motoring
public as they head out on their
road trips during the Thanks-
giving maximum enforcement
period (MEP), which begins to-
day, Wednesday, Nov. 23, at
6:01 p.m. and continues
through Sunday; Nov. 27.
The CHP reminds all mo-
torists: Buckle up, observe
the speed limit and don't
drink and drive.
During the 2010 Thanksgiv-
ing weekend, 21 people were
killed in collisions throughout
California. Among the five ve-
hicle occupants killed in CHP
jurisdiction, one person was
not wearing a seat belt.
It's also important to re-
member to designate a non-
drinking driver before the cel-
ebration begins, says the CHP.
Last year during the
Thanksgiving holiday, CHP
made 1,546 arrests for driving
under the influence, a nearly
6 percent increase from the
same time the previous year.
