Here are some tips from the November issue of Food Network Magazine on how to eat more this Thanksgiving.

Stretch out your stomach.
A few days before Turkey Day, prepare the way cranberry-sauce-eating champ Juliet Lee does: Have one big meal and nothing else. "A lot of people eat six meals a day," Lee says. "I only eat once." That way, he trains her stomach to take in loads of food at a time.

Stay away from the booze.
It's tempting to reach for a big glass of wine during the feast, but turkey-eating champion Patrick Bertoletti says to resist; the calories will keep you from being able to consume more food. "Wine just takes up extra space in your stomach," he says.

Start with dessert.
You'll get funny looks when you bwgin your meal with pie, but tiramisu-eating champion Eater X says this is the best strategy. "The sugar burns off real quick," he says, so by the time you're done with turkey and stuffing, you'll be ready for round two of pumpkin pie.
