Try This For Thanksgiving
The Day After The Big Meal:
The phenomenon in turkey that we all know and love happens after a huge meal because your body is so busy digesting that it enters your normal nighttime "hunger phase" in the morning. And the worst thing you can do is try to starve yourself in a vain attempt to make up for overeating. Instead, you should get back on track by grabbing a smart breakfast, one that energizes your body with 300 to 400 calories and includes high-quality carbohydrates, low-fat dairy, and fruit. A perfect pairing includes yogurt with granola and berries; or whole-grain toast with cottage cheese and fruit.
Fitness Solution: Hit the road for a long, slow run
Alas, you really did get intimate with a gravy boat yesterday. On the bright side, however, your body is perfectly primed for a workout that can burn off a chunk of last night's meal. With all the potatoes and stuffing, Thanksgiving is a big carbo-load. That means the glycogen stores that fuel your muscles are full to capacity. In addition to lots of muscle-fueling carbs, your feast contained a good amount of protein, essential for rebuilding muscles that break down during a long run. Even better, you likely have the day off work, an invitation to forestall the mall pilgrimage for an hour (or more) on the move. Go slowly, enjoy the scenery, and keep moving for as long as you're able. This is all about time on your feet, because you'll burn more calories the longer you go. The reward: 800-plus calories burned, a clear conscience, and an invigorating start to the holidays.
