Thanksgiving is meant to be enjoyed, not dreaded! 🦃 Wishing you a wonderful holiday week.
If you’re on a weight loss journey, the key to surviving Thanksgiving (and thriving!) is strategy, not restriction. Here are 3 simple tips from LiveWellMD to help you enjoy the meal without sacrificing your goals:
🦃 Thanksgiving Survival Guide:
1. Plate Strategy: Fill your plate first with high-volume, low-calorie foods. Load up on lean protein (turkey breast) and vegetables (green beans, salad). Take smaller portions of high-carb items (stuffing, mashed potatoes) and savor every bite.
2. Hydrate & Mind the Alcohol: Drink a full glass of water 15 minutes before the meal to promote fullness. If enjoying alcohol, alternate every drink with a glass of water to manage calorie intake and stay hydrated.
3. Move Your Body: Schedule a brisk 20-30 minute walk after the meal, or join the family football game! Movement aids digestion and helps burn some of the extra calories consumed.
Remember: One meal will not derail your journey. Consistency is everything!
