But Donald Hensrud, M.D., a Mayo Clinic specialist in nutrition and preventive medicine, says it is possible to go to the fair and have a good time without overindulging. Here are a few of his tips:

2) Have some fruit to start the day or a salad before you go in the afternoon
3) Split portions with family or friends
