As we roll through November like a Hurricane churning up the Atlantic, it’s almost Thanksgiving!
Wow! That came fast.
Thanksgiving is a great time to relax, enjoy food with family, and eat yourself into a nice mid-afternoon nap 🙂 Before you dive into the pies, potatoes, and Turkey!….a game plan is key to make sure Thanksgiving doesn’t ruin all your hard work at Rockstar Fitness.

Eat Mindfully
- Eat slow
- Savor the favors
- Pause between bits so your brain has time
- to catch up to feel full
Use Small Plates
- Smaller plates make sample portions to manage
Use Drinks Low in Calories
- Water will keep you more full
- Less sugar the better
Fill your Plate with the Good Stuff
- 50% of plate with Veggies
- 25% with Protein
- 25% of starchy foods like potatoes
- ….then the Pie or cookies….but Pick 1 not all 🙂
Most important part of the holidays is going a little overboard and knowing that this is normal and ok.
Don’t Beat Yourself Up
- If you overeat, don’t beat yourself up.
- Best thing you can do is make a healthy choice at your next meal to start positive momentum moving forward as soon as you can.
Have fun. Eat well. Enjoy the Family and Friends Rockstar Nation!
