Happy Healthy Thanksgiving Everyone!
Here are a few festive nutritional guidelines to keep you on track.

1.From now until the big day eat smaller consistent portions and stay on your healthy eating nutritional program.

2. Stick to the no carb rule after 5pm.

3. Increase your cardio and general movement activity up until Thanksgiving Dinner.

4. By performing 1. 2.& 3. you will be leaner on the day and looking forward to a nice relaxing dinner with family and friends.

5. At Thanksgiving dinner eat a little more protein and whole complex carbs and try the dark meat(which is more filling and not much more fat)with your baked sweet potatos.You will have less room for the stuffing, heavy sauces and
desert.

6. If you really have to, come desert time, treat
yourself to one small slice (2 inches wide on the
perimeter) of two of your favorite pies and you're
done!

7. Wash it down with red wine (2 glasses max),
sparkling water and or organic apple cider/juice.

8. Assuming you have a very early Thanksgiving Dinner, your next meal(if there is time for one), should be atleast 4 hours later and include eggwhites, and fruit or salads or a protein shake and a handful (combined
2oz's) of raw nuts, and dark chocolate.

9. The day after your festive dinner go for a nice 40 minute walk with loved ones or friends, or both and if its too cold out, go to the gym and do 'a little bit of everything cardio' for 35 mins. Then enjoy a light low carb breakfast. A protein shake or some plain yogurt and fresh fruitwould be nice!

10. Lunch will be as per usual. Your old favorite:
Steamed or grilled seafood with mixed steamed greens
-YUM!

11.See you happy and healthy the next day!
