Thanksgiving is a holiday favorite for many, but along with the traditional turkey and football is usually a day of eating. If you start eating early in the day, along with the first football game, there’s a chance you may have consumed more than 4,000 calories by the time the day is over.
Putting that in perspective, if you weigh 150 pounds, you’d have to walk 40 MILES at the end of Turkey Day in order to burn off your Thanksgiving Day meal!
So how is it possible to enjoy the day with family and friends, eat that pumpkin pie, but not “have” it, too? One-Minute Wellness Coach & Nutritionist Deborah Enos is available to give you the five tips you need to survive the biggest Eating Day of the year!
- No alcohol on an empty stomach. The “buzz” we get from cocktails on an extra stomach leads us to eat an additional 30% more calories. Save the cocktails for dinner and not before.
- Start with flaxseed. Flaxseed is fantastic fiber source and rich in omegas and a natural appetite suppressant. Simply add a tablespoon of ground flaxseed to your morning Greek yogurt or oatmeal or just gulp it down with a water chaser about 30 minutes before eating. It will fill you up so you eat less!
- Drink a cup of coffee or hot tea 15 minutes before eating. The hot liquid will annihilate your appetite. You’ll feel full & eat less.
- Don’t eat to please. If Aunt Betty slaves away to bake a dish you don’t even like, be polite and just take a small bite for taste.
- Eat the dessert! Pumpkin pie is a home run compared other holiday desserts. One slice of pumpkin pie is only 300 calories compared to pecan pie, which comes in at 500
