Just a quick note on the eve of what I hope will be an excellent Thanksgiving for you and yours!
Over the last few days I have been asked repeatedly what advice I have for people trying to avoid the nutritional pitfalls that so many of us succumb to during the holiday season. After all, it is very easy to pack on pounds over the next five weeks as we will probably be attending more social gatherings than we have attended all year.
The first bit of advice I give is to enjoy these special events but do so in moderation. Life is too short not to indulge! Hopefully, you have been following the 90/10 Lifestyle Plan– eating healthy foods 90% of the time and not so healthy foods the remaining 10%.
Thanksgiving is an ideal time to take a break from your normal diet and commit that nutritional sin. After all, who does not love a plate full of those traditional Thanksgiving staples such as mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie, and so many more?
If you have been following the 90/10 Lifestyle, now is your time to enjoy these foods without guilt. You have earned it! The body is resilient and your overall lifestyle will always have an accumulative effect on your health. Taking a break tomorrow to enjoy the company of your loved ones and eat your favorite Thanksgiving staples will not compromise your overall health goals.
My second tip is simple. If you know you will be eating more than usual than make a commitment to increase your activity level to more than usual. Remember, the recipe for weight gain is chronically taking in more calories than you burn. So rather than taking a seat on the sofa after your Thanksgiving meal, grab the family and go for a walk. You and loved ones will feel great after a brisk stroll through the neighborhood!
I will be back again very soon with more health tips for you and your loved ones! In the meantime, have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
