In this episode of Barbell Therapy, we dive into how to approach Thanksgiving dinner with confidence and enjoyment—without guilt or shame. We explore why one day of indulging won’t derail your progress and how your mindset and habits throughout the season matter far more than a single meal.
Key Takeaways:
The Science Behind Weight Gain: One day of overeating isn’t enough to cause significant fat gain; it’s the ongoing habits that make the difference.
Mindset Shift: Enjoying Thanksgiving foods isn’t “bad.” Restricting yourself can lead to overindulgence later.
Practical Strategies: Tips like prioritizing protein, staying hydrated, and eating mindfully can help you enjoy the meal while staying aligned with your goals.
Setting Boundaries: How to manage social pressure and comments about food choices during holiday gatherings.
Whether you’re worried about falling off track or just want to enjoy your favorite dishes guilt-free, this episode gives you the tools to approach Thanksgiving with balance and freedom.
