AppId is over the quota
TurboChargers can continue to lose fat by incorporating lean recipes made from turkey leftovers. Even if you were overeating on Thanksgiving, it’s possible for your diet plans to survive the rest of the holiday season as long as you recognize the pitfalls and plan ahead.
Just because you overdid it on Thanksgiving, doesn’t mean you are doomed to gain weight over the holidays. Your goal of reducing body fat and toning muscle between now and New Year’s Day is still very realistic. But, you need a plan. Remember that many people enjoy their Black Friday shopping sprees because they started planning where to shop weeks beforehand, and they kept a list of different stores to hit if the first store didn’t have what they were looking for. Similarly, you can plan to stay in shape, or even better, improve your body and health so you show up at holiday parties looking awesome. One day of overeating is no reason for you to stay down and out. Keep focusing on your goal!
Many of the ingredients left over from your Thanksgiving meal can be used to make great lower calorie meals. Instead of stacking turkey on slices of white bread with mayonnaise that will only contribute to weight gain, make a big pot of turkey vegetable stew that will fuel your body. Help you burn fat and stay satisfied at the same time. Looking for something easy to do with that leftover Thanksgiving turkey? Try this recipe from our book, TurboCharged Recipes: Delicious Fuel for Your Lean, Fat-Burning Machine (BSH, 2012).
