With Turkey Day almost here, are you prepared? Have you told yourself you're going to Nutritionize, or completely blow it? Either way is totally fine. Remember, the only diet that works is one with a commitment to living healthy. On a day-to-day, minute-by-minute basis, you are making choices about what to put in your mouth. With the right knowledge (like what's provided here), you'll always know what choices to make to eat healthy. However, living a healthy lifestyle has NOTHING to do with knowledge. It has to do with honoring what you said. At some point, you said you want to live a healthy lifestyle, and you make choices accordingly. If you blow it on Turkey Day (I know I am), simply give your word that you'll jump back on, honor what you said, and do it!
With the motivational talk out of the way, how would you handle the following classic turkey day scenario?
It's Thanksgiving dinner and you're at the table with all your family and loved ones. The aroma of the familiar holiday feast foods are abound – roast turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans, corn-on-the-cob, cranberry sauce, salads, roast pork, pumpkin pie, and of course apple pie (vanilla bean ice cream in the fridge, unopened). What do you put on your plate?

I would put it all on my plate and savor every bite, without worrying! I’m going to blow it and enjoy my thanksgiving meal, the meal won’t be truly enjoyable if I was worried about the outcome of eating good food!
