That’s right, I said it: "F" moderation.
This year as I visit my brother and his family in El Dorado Hills Ca, (outside of Sacramento) I was thinking of the article I would write: eat protein first, load up on veggies and go sparingly on the desserts.
F that.
Not this year.
This year has been a serious crap fest for a lot of people out there. There is enough for people to worry about without having to worry about what to (or not to) eat this Thanksgiving Holiday.
So here you go- I am giving you license to eat like a pig. Have at it. No more eating in moderation. Thanksgiving is a good day to say screw it all and go completely overboard.
Am I kidding? Nope, not this time.
Let’s face it: This holiday is centered around eating. Hell, it is *all* about eating (oh yeah, and giving thanks- let’s not forget about that.)
And not it’s not just normal eating, it’s eating awesome stuff. Yeah, we should all give thanks about what we have, but how about we give thanks that Thanksgiving dinner usually rocks?
This year take a day off and eat whatever you want. My plan centers around pie. I am all about pumpkin pie. If there is room after pie I might have some turkey, we’ll have to see. (I do want to leave my options open).
Mmmm.. pie…
But here is where I need to reel you back in: DO NOT do this every day. Or even every week. That is just plain stupid.
This type of culinary overdose should be reserved for rare and special occasions. And the good news is that occasional over eating can actually increase fat burning during the "normal" days. That is why I am an advocate of "cheat" days.
And this Thanksgiving more than ever is a great day for a cheat.
Friday, go have some turkey leftovers, maybe some other stuff left in the fridge. But by then end of the long weekend the leftovers should be more or less depleted, and by Monday you should be back on track.
Thursday go nuts, really and truly monkey butts nuts.
Tell anyone who asks, Josh said it was cool. If they have a problem with it they can email me, and when I wake up from my pie coma I will respond.
Mmmm…pie….
Happy Thanksgiving.
