Diet Naughty on Thanksgiving Day
by Sky Taylor, Diet Bites
Whether you were a little Diet Evil OR a lot Diet Evil the good news is that today is a brand new day - an opportunity for a new beginning. So put yesterday behind you - but please don't toss it from your memory. Some of the best learning experiences in life stem from past mistakes.
First, let's begin by determining your current 'dieting' situation.
If you were currently on a weight loss plan and goofed on Thanksgiving Day - please don't imagine that you've blown your weight loss dreams to smithereens. Get right back on track - today AND fortify your weight loss motivation as the following weeks ahead are mined with pitfalls that can obliterate your weight loss goals.
If you are not on a weight loss plan and you are trying very hard to keep from gaining weight - good for you! Sure, you may have fallen through the crack on Thanksgiving Day, particularly if commercial fruit cake wasn't the only food on the menu.
With this said, remember your mistakes from yesterday and move forward. Your goal is to weigh the same after the holidays as you do now OR if you're in need of dropping some unwanted pounds, then aim to weigh less - whether you're on an official diet, or not.
Whatever your situation, to help your weight to recover from the "Thanksgiving Effect" try the following:
- Take a walk each and every day particularly during the holidays OR do an activity that is fun. Even shopping burns calories.
- Limit servings to single servings.
- Enjoy fruit for snack times.
- With the warmer weather on hand, try enjoying a serving of delicious soup before meal time. You'll fill fuller, eat less and you'll be inserting nutritional values into your daily diet.
