Have you been toiling hard to stay in good shape all this time? Kissing goodbye to your potbelly could be trickier with the holidays and celebrations right around the corner. Isn’t it hard to abstain from the delicious big fat meals? The finest of foods are at the front and center of the elaborate Thanksgiving dinners. Can you miss the mammoth bird though? A thanksgiving grandeur is certainly amiss without a luscious turkey on the table. The gravy, stuffing, rich cranberry sauce, an array of sides, and ample other foods, pigging out and stretching your appetite is hard to resist.
 
Overindulging in the delicious munchies and flavorsome dishes is easier done than thought. Aftermath? You are filled to your gills and feel like a blob. Isn’t it pointless to pine after you’ve stuffed your face with way too much food? Must you bid farewell to the luscious holiday feasts then? Absolutely not! Little did you know that there are smart healthy hacks to welcome the holiday season without fretting about a stretch in your waistline.
 
As much as you love savoring foods bursting with oodles of flavors, striking the right balance works wonders. Wondering how? Let’s scroll down a few handy tips.
 
1. Never cut down your snack hours
 
Of course, feasting on a king-size thanksgiving spread fills you with joy. However, do you choose to save up your appetite to pig out big and square on the hot turkey? Sadly, the trick often misfires! Staying off food for long hours causes the blood sugar to dip. Result? You are mostly famished and polish off food like no one’s business.
 
Eating right and in smaller portions never hurts your waistline. Instead of starving throughout the day, snack on smaller meals. Try and include heaps of veggies, fruits, and greens in your meals. It is no surprise that animal magnetism is hard to match in a lush thanksgiving dinner.
 
2. Keep moving
 
Got it, prepping and hosting a fancy Thanksgiving luncheon is quite bustling and not close to a picnic. Setting up an exorbitant feast is too much labor. But, never skip keeping your activities on a roll. It could be hard to practice a thorough cardio cycle on the big day. Of course, Thanksgiving is jammed with a zillion chores and to-do’s. Doing up quick yoga before a headstart to the day or taking pleasure in long trots with your loved ones after a big fat meal is a good idea.
 
3. Pick your favorites wisely
 
Thanksgiving is a joyous celebration that’s centered around good food. Some dishes are essentially thanksgiving staples and specials. A humble pumpkin pie for instance or the gorgeous and toasty turkey. Do you think picturing these exquisite dishes as off-limits is a cakewalk? Certainly not! You would eventually give up and gorge on food like a horse. Stop fighting your cravings. Snacking on your favorite foods matters big. Instead of binge-eating everything that’s up for grabs on the table, pick out a couple of your favorites and enjoy cramming these down with zero guilt.
 
4. Consciously stay clear from alcohol before a lavish dinner is served
 
Indulging in alcohol before eyeing on a lush dinner spread clouds your mind. Instead of restricting over-stuffing with calorie-rich foods, you start hogging like a horse. Making wiser food choices is out of the picture.
 
Thanksgiving feasts are all about the luscious creamy dips, processed sides, sugary goodness, and fat-rich entrees. Knowing how to balance your dish and savor the scrumptious foods guilt-free is key.
