What to eat, and what not to eat

Today, it's all about portions.

First, some tough love.

My sister responded to my post yesterday and said, "I thought it was a day to indulge!"

OK, valid question, BUT she trains everyday and works hard on her nutritional choices. So for her (or you if you are in the same scenario) I say go for it!

But for everyone else who don't train everyday and make solid nutritional choices...listen up!

Here's what you need to focus on- what to eat and what not to eat...

1. Drink water! Start when you get up with 8 oz's (which you should anyway), then have 8 oz's every hour up to the point you eat. You will be less likely to overeat if you do this.
2. Only have a "palm full" of hors d'oeuvres- and make them veggies or a protein snack
3. If you are going to drink alcohol, then make sure you have a protein or a fat snack with your drink so you don't "over sugar" yourself which is what alcohol is...pure sugar!

Ok- at the Thanksgiving meal, here's how your plate should look...

Split the plate into thirds- 1/3 protein- turkey/ham, 1/3 carbs- mashed taters/dressing and 1/3 vegies.

I am a believer in fats, good fats, so use some gravy on your turkey and stuffing, JUST DON'T OVER DO IT! That's when you get into trouble!

Next, make sure those portions of each of the foods are about the size of your palm and , just like I said yesterday, only eat till you are satisfied!

Now...seconds?

Yes you can, but you have to wait for three hours! The difference is, this time you can't eat it past 8 pm, and it has to be half the size of your original meal.

So try these simple tricks and it will help you be successful on Thanksgiving!

See you tomorrow!
