Thanksgiving Nutrition Tips

Ok, I know everyone is going to eat too much this Thursday, but that's ok. I just wanted to give you a few quick tips on how to make the best of the big feast.

#1: Do some type of exercise in the morning. Whether it's a simple walk or quick metabolic workout just do something. By exercising in the morning you will rev up your metabolism for the rest of the day.

#2: Eat a little of everything. There is no reason to deprive yourself of pumpkin pie and/or sweet potato pie. One day of eating a little of these is not going to hurt you.

#3: Load up on vegetables and salad.

#4: Choose the whole cranberry type sauce over the canned cranberry sauce. As well as, sweet potatoes over instant mashed potatoes.

#5: Eat your meal and then stop. It is very easy to keep picking all day after you've eaten, but doing so will just add more unneeded calories.

So what if you absolutely blow it? If this ends up being the case, it's not the end of the world. To off set everything you did take the next 2-3 days and eat zero carbs and only consume around 1400 calories per day. This should get your right back to where you were.

Live Fit,

Josh
