Okay, so Thanksgiving is right around the corner and we all know the whole days is about feasting, overindulging (you know it only comes once a year!)
For those who want to stay mindful of what they eat yet still enjoy the meal and the day here are a few tips for guidance:
1. make sure you eat a small meal or two before the actual Thanksgiving feast. Do not starve yourself before the day. Wrong, Wrong, Wrong to not eat up until the meal. You will only be starving and over indulge even more so.
2. Fill up on healthy foods first, raw veggies, salad, fresh fruit.
3. Choose a nice lean piece of turkey with "no" skin. Try not to smother you dish with gravy!
4. Enjoy everything but in smaller portions. You really only need a bite or two of everything not a big heaping pile on your plate.
5. Eat only until you are satisfied (not until you are so full you cannot move).
6. Don't over-do-it on alcohol those are empty calories and have no nutrients.
7. Enjoy the celebration of the day and whether you are with family or friends be grateful for having them in your life and being together.
8. Maybe go for a walk before or after dinner or enjoy some interactive video game that gets you on your feet moving, or put on some dance music and get your groove on.
At any rate enjoy Thanksgiving and be grateful for your health and your loved ones!!!
Happy Thanksgiving to my loyal reader.
If you happen to overindulge on Thursday....who cares...get back on track Friday!
