Thanksgiving Day 5 Veggie Challenge

November 25, 2009 by Kristin_Anderson Leave a Comment

This week we have the THANKSGIVING DAY  5 VEGGIE CHALLENGE!

At Thanksgiving dinner you must consume a small portion of at least 5 veggies. Veggie’s that are breaded or covered in sauce, DO count on this day :o).

TIPS:

Start with a small green salad-this sets up and prepares your digestion system and counts as 1 veggie.

Find veggies in the appetizers-having veggie’s in dip or guacamole, wrapped in bread or cheese, etc… counts as 1 veggie.

To bring your body and stomach back into it’s usual digestive and hunger patterns, have a 300-400 calorie breakfast the following morning and go for an extended (60- 90 minute) walk, jog or hike. Thanksgiving dinner is the perfect carb and protein load for a long, sustained workout.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!
