It's that time of the year when you get together with friends and family and gives thanks for everything that you are grateful for in your life....
It's also the time when you look at that turducken lying before you on the table.. and you give it the eye of the tiger... and you pray for mercy for the poor bastard.
If you're like most people, you usually don't eat anything for the entire day before thanksgiving dinner, which is most likely around 5pm or 6pm.
Well, here's the thing:
When you skip a meal, your appetite becomes more and more ravenous. Now, that's not usually a problem, however on thanksgiving...
It can be a major problem.
Why is it a major problem?
Well, when you think about all the things that you're going to devour, then you realize how big a problem it can be.
Keep in mind that your metabolism works the best when it has a steady supply of food throughout the entire day, usually 5 small meals a day to keep your energy levels stable and prevent that dreaded crash that everyone seems to experience.
On thanksgiving day, it's customary to eat just one huge meal and then plop back and open the belt buckles.
Now, what can you do about it?
Well...
1) You can exercise 30 minutes in the morning to prime your metabolism so that you can feel good about eating all that good food.
2)You can eat small snacks throughout the day to alleviate hunger.
3) You can remember that the main purpose of thanksgiving is to be with family and have fun.
Hope this helps you stay trim throughout this holiday season.
Sincerely,
Amir
