5 Ways to Avoid Overeating on Thanksgiving

OK everybody loves Thanksgiving . We all  tend to eat a little too much at holiday dinners. The average weight gain between Thanksgiving and New years is 7- 10 pounds. So here's a few tricks to get you through the beginning of the holiday season.

1. Eat a little before you go
So because most of us wait all day for the insane amount of carbs we are about to consume. We tend to eat everything as if we have never eaten before and will never eat again.
If you eat a little before you for a example , protein shake , a protein bar small salad. You wont be so ravenous and eat a weeks worth of calories in 30 min .

2. Drink something
So drink a glass of water before you even eat, to help make you feel full.
If no water is available vodka is completely acceptable. LOL (ok maybe not) But you get the point.

3. You don't need 3-4 plates of food
Some of the holiday dishes are just that holiday dishes. So you don't get them everyday. But ....you do not need 4 servings of sweet potatoes casserole. Its good I know, but calm your ass down . Sit down fill you plate and make a plate to go. It's perfectly acceptable.

4. Left Overs
You don't not need a weeks worth of leftovers. Thanksgiving is one day. No one should be eating thanksgiving until Christmas...( you know I'm talking to you! ) LOL

5. Take a walk
Take a walk in between courses to help with digestion. It will also give you a moment away from the table to catch up with family and friends.

Fitness is a way of life for all of us. But there's nothing wrong with enjoying life pleasures occasionally . Eat up but not to the point you're in a carb comma. LOL

HAPPY THANKSGIVING  TO YOU AND YOURS !
