How are you dealing with Thanksgiving?

Question

I’ve been sticking to the diet pretty closely, and my numbers have been good, though not always perfect. I’m trying to decide if I should just not worry for the one day rather than feel deprived or left out, not to mention having to constantly explain “I can’t eat that” to family members. On the other hand, I’m worried if I let myself off the hook for one day it will be easier to keep doing it.

Answer

I’ve also been really good about my diet. I do plan on eating everything on Thanksgiving, luckily I usually don’t over due it. I will be eating a slice of apple pie. But I will take my dog for a 45 min walk after eating my meal.

Answer

I asked the nutritionalist she said to have no more than a cup combined of all the carby stuff. So like 1/4 c mashed potato 1/4 c stuffing 1/4 c sweet potatoes etc. also to make sure to walk that day!

Answer

I wouldn’t go insane, but I would indulge a tiny bit. Your number will probably be up but at least you will know why. As someone said, don’t have full servings of the carbs, just have little samples of whatever carbs you’d be wanting to eat and it should help not totally throw your number. I plan on indulging a tiny bit including a small small serving of dessert (my provider already told me that’s fine as long as I don’t overdo it). As long as a one time SLIGHT indulgence won’t cause you to instantly get into bad habits I say enjoy Thanksgiving. One day will not hurt. Just walk and make sure the following day to eat extremely well and again do a lot of walking.
