What are you planning to eat this holiday season that won't set you back with your weight loss goals?

    I measure out my carbs sometimes but actually I am making butters apples (made with canola butter) instead of pie and I am having spaghetti squash instead of mashed potatoes, green beans (steamed) with parm cheese, turkey of course, some corn (maybe) and then a walk LOL.

    I'm eating everything that I usually eat at Thankgiving. I'm going to get a good calorie burn (2500) and eat normal portions.

    I plan on exhibiting self control ( also helps i cook most of the food and host at my house) I already know that i will be having a piece of pie for dessert and accept that. Honestly telling myself all week that the veggie try is the only appetiser i will be having and no alcohol this year ( which is also due to plan on shopping at midnight). If i have to bust out the food scale to weigh out the turkey i am going to. As for sides i plan on having one spoon full of the sides that i want to eat. Also gonna skip the bread this year.

    Just eat the good food and non of the christmassy chocolates
  • Going to either run or bike in the early morning, and then try to limit the whole meal (dinner & dessert) to under 1000 calories. Hopefully about 5 oz of protein, half a plate of steamed veggies, and one starch... and then two small dessert items! No alcohol either.
  • Am really not going to deprive myself but also will make sure to have everything in moderation and stop when I'm full instead of gorging myself. Hoping to get in a nice long walk in the morning which will help offset the little extra I plan to have.

    Turkey, cheesy cauliflower, turkey, roasted asparagus, turkey, Trader Joe's low-carb gravy, turkey, pumpkin muffins made using Atkins' low-carb muffin-in-a-minute recipe, turkey, deviled eggs, and follow that with a chaser of turkey & a side of turkey. I don't know what the rest of the family will eat, since I plan to eat the entire bird... :tongue:
