Happy Thanksgiving! πππ I'm so grateful for you all!!
Here we go, the "feasting" season! Though it doesn't have to be that way.
You CAN enjoy the Holidays like Thanksgiving and end the day not feeling bloated, lethargic and just plain gross.
Here are a few tips to help you navigate Thanksgiving and also holiday parties coming up!
1. Don't go too hungry. Eat a little something in the morning so you kick start your metabolism and don't go to your Thanksgiving meal or party famished, ready to devour everything and quickly! Even an apple and handful of nuts can keep you satisfied for a while so you can make healthier choices.
2. Survey all the options before filling your plate. Being in control and with a mindset of enjoying but being strategic with healthier choices in mind, look at what options are available and go for 1/2 of your plate vegetable dishes, enjoy the lean turkey full of satisfying protein & THEN with a little room left, enjoy a few bits of what you absolutely can't do without.
3. Chew slowly and enjoy more than just the food. Keep in mind what this holiday is all about - being thankful and grateful for all you have, including your health! When tempted to go for more, take a few minutes to digest, go for a walk, talk with those around you and see if you truly want that 2nd helping later.
Above all, enjoy your day and do not stress about the food! That makes it all worse on your digestive system. Stay calm and just enjoy yourself! π If you overdid it, move on and get back on track Friday!
Wishing you and yours a wonderful Thanksgiving! I'm so grateful for all of you! πππ π½οΈπ₯§
Be blessed-
Lori
