The Thanksgiving Day Dessert Challenge!
What you can propose to everyone at the big Thanksgiving Day meal is that they space out their food properly and wait until the big meal digests a little before eating dessert. Why get stuffed or act like a glutton anyway? It’s uncomfortable and unhealthy.
The challenge is to see who can space out the food well enough during the day to not gain the extra ten pounds that most people gain during the holidays.
All that’s required is that everyone engages in cleaning up all the dinner dishes and stick around to play the after dinner games and engage in stimulating intellectual conversation for a few hours, and then desserts are brought out three hours later.
Now three hours can be really stretching it so two hours is okay, but three hours really is better. This way your body has time to deal with the high blood sugar from the Thanksgiving Day meal.
And when you eat the desserts, you’ll count the carbs. Do not exceed 35 grams of carbs. This may mean a spoonful of ice cream on top of a sliver of apple pie along with a sliver of pumpkin pie, but it will be enough. The trick is to simply not fill up your spoon and take very small bites and savor each bite. That way you’ll make it last.
So do it. Take the Thanksgiving Day Challenge with your guests and win this year at the holidays!
