   An individual can easily consume 3,000 calories at one Christmas dinner (alcoholic beverages included), said Adrianne Ashley, a registered dietitian at Kaiser Permanente Medical Center in Fontana.
   ...
   "You can consume a lot of calories while you're cooking that you're not aware (of) sometimes," Ashley said.
   
   Also, beware the alcohol. Alcohol is high in calories and sugars and is a big extra at dinner. One glass of wine can add about 100 calories to your feast -- not to mention what it can do to your mind and manners.
   
   "Drinking alcohol can not only add extra unwanted calories, but it can hinder your judgment on how much you've actually eaten," Ashley warned.
   
   PICK AND CHOOSE
   ...
   "Do everything in moderation," Ashley said. "Don't deprive yourself, and take a little bit of everything so you don't go overboard later."
   
   Also, chew your food thoroughly and eat slowly, she stressed. It takes 20 to 30 minutes for your body to actually know you're full.
   
   "By eating slower, you're allowing yourself to get full and to realize you're full before you've eaten too much," Ashley said.
   ...
   Exercise is going to help keep those blood sugars down, which is important for diabetics, Ashley said.
   
   She suggests going for a walk after dinner to look at all the Christmas lights and decorations.

   Adrianne Ashley, a registered dietician at Kaiser Permanente Medical Center, Fontana, said, "It's real easy to get your antioxidants from your diet."
   
   She suggests color coding your kitchen for cancer prevention by including a variety of colorful vegetables in your daily eating habits. "This will give you a wide variety of antioxidants which can help in fighting cancer."
   
   With vitamins and minerals, she said it's best to get them from food. "Some people make the mistake by thinking, "Well, I can take a multi-vitamin, I don't have to eat healthy,' " Ashley said.
   
   Sometimes people can overdo it on multi-vitamins. And too much of a supplement can be dangerous, especially of vitamin A, she warned.
   
   But she didn't say you shouldn't take vitamins. She encourages her patients to first depend on their diets for antioxidants. But if they're going to take supplements, she suggests they read the back of the bottle to make sure they're getting no more than 100 percent of the daily recommended dose of each vitamin and mineral.
   
   Something is better than nothing for people who don't eat enough fruits and vegetables.
