As we roll through November like a Hurricane churning up the Atlantic… can you believe 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 a 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
Full 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!
