My Hot Take On How To Enjoy Thanksgiving WITHOUT The Fat Gain | Ep 236
from The Mindset and Metabolism Podcast · host Joey Gast
Thanksgiving doesn’t have to be the start of a holiday weight-gain spiral—and it also doesn’t need to be a day of restriction, food guilt, or tracking every bite.In this episode, I break down my realistic approach to the holiday: why one day won’t sabotage your progress, why the all-or-nothing mindset is more damaging than the food itself, and the science behind how your body actually responds to a higher-calorie day.Then I walk through 5–8 simple, practical tips you can use if you want to be mindful—without skipping your favorite foods, avoiding family meals, or feeling like you're “being good.”Whether you want to fully enjoy the day with zero stress, or stay loosely on track while still hitting your goals, this episode gives you a sane, balanced, evidence-based plan to do exactly that.Perfect for anyone wanting to enjoy Thanksgiving... without waking up on Friday feeling like they have to “start over.”Be sure to share this episode with a family member, friend, or on your IG or FB stories so someone else who needs help can find it!
