First, I hope you all have a happy Thanksgiving. If you’re trying to lose weight and are worried about blowing it tomorrow, don’t worry. Here are my simple rules to get you through it just fine:
1- Don’t go anywhere hungry. People always say “I’m not going to eat all day to save up calories for Thanksgiving dinner.” Well, that’s about the worst thing you can do. Eat normally all day before your Thanksgiving feast. That way, you won’t be starving, which just causes you to tank up on chips, dip, cheese, candy, and all of the other stuff spread out before dinner happens.
2- If you’re doing the cooking, chew gum while you cook. This will keep you from eating an extra 1000 calories while you are surrounded with food in the kitchen.
3- When it comes time for dinner, eat whatever you want, just eat sloooowllly. Come on, it’s Thanksgiving. Enjoy it and eat whatever you want for dinner. By eating slowly, you’ll let your brain catch up with your stomach and you’ll be less likely to overeat and have to unbutton your pants in order to breathe.
4- Watch football.
5- If you’re hosting, send everyone home with leftover desserts. Don’t keep them around. The best way to keep pie out of your pie hole is to not have it in the house.
5a- If you’re a guest somewhere, don’t let them send you home with leftovers other than turkey. The best way to keep pie out of your pie hole is to not have it in the house.
6- On Friday, just get back on track eating right and exercising. One day of eating like a Viking won’t kill you. If you need some motivation and tips to get on track, visit www.DietVictims.com.
Happy Thanksgiving,
Dave
