Thanksgiving Weight Loss Tips That Actually Work

Written by Susan Fox, Health Writer

Plus, Tips for Less Stress and More Fun!

But how is this possible? 

With a clear conscience can we really feast on beastly amounts of fare on the most food-focused feast day of the year, Thanksgiving?

While it’s true that Americans can gobble up to 4,500 calories on Thanksgiving, we should focus more on our eating throughout the year and not get stressed out about one day, even if it’s T-Day.

Kim McDevitt from Runner’s World wrote: “On Thanksgiving, don’t be so rigid. I don’t want you to think about how much you’re eating, or beat yourself up for a second helping of stuffing or a slice of each of the pies.”

She invites us to start our day by getting some fresh air and exercise. “Then come home, put on comfy clothes and settle in with a roaring fire and your family and friends,” she adds. “Enjoy the company. And the food.”

She basically says that Thanksgiving is a “day to throw your thoughts about food out the window.”

A Pigging Out Pass?

Not exactly, but she has a point. 

And the point is not that we should try to devour 4,500-plus calories because it is a day associated with feasting.

Her point is that there are healthier ways to approach healthy eating, and depriving ourselves of all so-called “bad stuff” is not the answer. 

And choosing Thanksgiving to put the dietary screws into ourselves is definitely not the solution either.

Does anyone really want to be obsessed about weight gain on Thanksgiving?

Don’t Feel Like A Turkey!

That being said, most of us are aware that 71.6% of American adults are overweight. 

So the odds are high that, for many, this traditional gathering is viewed as both a blessing and a bit of a curse. 

Come Thanksgiving, will you still be on a weight-loss diet? Or, perhaps you’ve already reached your desired weight and want to keep up your good track record. You might see the upcoming temptation as quite daunting. 

Are there easy ways we can sneak in a little healthfulness?

Inspiration from a 5-Star Rave Review of Almased "Almased is a game-changer. After some holiday or vacation indulgences, I use the figure plan to quickly reset my habits and drop a couple of pounds. ... And, I can take it anywhere” - Joanne B.

Shake It Up With Almased!

Almased is a low-glycemic, high protein (LGHP) nutritional supplement, and it's diabetic friendly, too. 

The shakes provide a bunch of benefits to the body, such as metabolic and blood sugar support. 

You’re also likely to notice some improvements in the appearance of hair, skin, and nails, and even in the quality of your sleep!

If you’ve already adjusted your lifestyle to the Almased LGHP plan, you’ll understand how the traditional Thanksgiving fare offers many healthy choices that are low-GI, too. 

Load your plate with plenty of veggies, and there’s no guilt in some extra turkey slices. 

You don’t have to pass on yummy mashed potatoes and gravy either. Just select smaller sized portions of the higher glycemic carbs. 

Check out Almased’s food list. The suggested foods are high in fiber and nutrient-dense. Don't bother counting calories, instead select from your recommended menu items. 

There are also plenty of suggested meal recipes to get you started.

Choosing to eat healthy LGHP whole foods that you love, along with your LGHP Almased shakes, you’ll feel more replete and satisfied. Because you feel better as well, it’s an easy eating pattern to stick with.

Dr. Oz Weight Loss Tips

We gathered some scientifically-proven weight loss tips from Dr. Oz that help to keep your belly happily in check. 

They do work well and the long-term effects may surprise you.

  • Get your Zzz’s. Sleep deprivation alters levels of hormones in the body that regulate hunger, causing an increase in appetite.
  • Don’t skip meals earlier in the day to leave room for more later. Your body can go into fat-storing mode, making it harder to burn calories.
  • On any big meal day, getting the nutrition your body needs early in the day can help your body burn calories later.
  • Skip sodas, sugary drinks, and juices. Tea, coffee, and water are excellent.
  • Hold off on the snack mix, chips, or bread that might come before the meal. Stick with the sliced veggies, fruit, nuts, and other whole foods and protein.
  • Eat high-fiber crackers (ones that have over 5 grams of fiber per serving) about 15 minutes before the meal.  Doing this can slow down fat absorption and literally expand your stomach, which makes you feel fuller longer. (Include a glass of water, too)
  • Sit down for dinner, but otherwise, find reasons to move. Help out in the kitchen or take a brisk walk.
  • Enjoy your pumpkin pie! But if you only eat the filling and leave the crust behind, you’ll save about 173 calories and 11.7 grams of fat!

Thanksgiving is a fitting time to put a pause on our weight worries and be grateful for the good things we have. 

A special thanks to Hubertus Trouillé and his dedication to developing Almased, making improved nutrition and better health available to all.

Eat, drink Almased, and be thankful!
