10 THANKSGIVING EATING TIPS U Weight Loss Clinics

There is probably no single holiday more centered around eating than Thanksgiving. It's other name is Turkey Day, so that right there tells you something.
At the end of the day you could come out stuffed like a turkey yourself, but it doesn't have to be that way.
Here are five Thanksgiving eating tips to follow that your body might thank you for on Friday. Notice I didn't call them diet tips because I don't think most people should approach this day of thanks in diet mode, but do be smart about your eating.

Eat slowly
It takes 20 minutes for your body to know that you're full. Enjoy your food, lift your head up from the plate to talk during the meal and enjoy each bite. There's nothing wrong with putting your fork down a few times, too. It doesn't constantly have to be in motion.

Drink lots of water
Water is a model's best friend and it knows how to be a good friend to you, too, if you let it. Water can help control your appetite by letting you feel full faster. If you're drinking beer, mix in some glasses or bottles of water during the day.

Get your grub on early
Don't show up at the Thanksgiving feast on an empty stomach. Eat a good breakfast that day, preferably with protein and fiber to help digest the turkey legs to follow. Maybe even eat some fruit, like an apple, an hour or so before Thanksgiving dinner. It's always better to space out small means instead of one giant one during the day. And it will really help you eat less at the Thanksgiving dinner.

Be a food connoisseur
Don't waste your calories by loading up on items you can have year-round, like mashed potatoes, gravy and rolls. Instead, go easy on those high-calorie foods and take small samples of other things, too, that you rarely get to eat, such as sweet potatoes, certain types of vegetable casseroles and a piece of pumpkin pie.

Question about protein in my diet and weight gain?

I m 17 and I became a vegetarian about 7 months ago, mostly out of curiosity and because I started to get a stomach ache whenever I ate meat for some reason. But I figured it was no big deal. I knew that I needed to get protein in my diet but I was kind of nonchalant about it. I started eating a thing of greek yogurt every day for breakfast, and I figured that would be fine as my daily source of protein; it has about 15 grams of protein in it. I eat nuts and other legumes occasionally, so I figured I was okay. I also drink vanilla almond milk and I started eating kashi, morningstar, and amy s products, though not every day because they are expensive.

However, about a week ago, I spoke with someone at a GNC store when I went there with my mom one day, and somehow the topic of me being a vegetarian came up. He asked how I got my protein and I mentioned the yogurt, and he said that I should probably buy some whey protein because a yogurt a day was not enough for my protein intake. I figured he knew what he was talking about and I considered the possibility that I could be deficient in protein, since I suffer from some of the symptoms despite the fact that I do get other sources of protein every once in a while, and I bought the bag.

I have a serving of that a day (21 grams, half a serving in the morning and again at lunch) along with my yogurt and almond milk, a tablespoon of peanut butter and a 2 tablespoons of nesquick chocolate powder, which I blend into a smoothie. I know that sounds like a lot of calories (around 400 I think) but I get up for school at 5:30 and don t eat again until almost 4:00pm because I don t eat lunch at school; I eat a lot of calories in the morning to lessen the possibility of my body going into shock mode. That usually ties me over until I eat lunch when I get home (a mixture of the powder, water, and a drink mix, and sometimes an apple and a cheese stick or something small) and I don t eat again for another four or five hours. Before I got the whey protein powder my diet was similar, except I had a bowl of cereal in the morning, a yogurt and a banana and for lunch usually just a granola bar, a cheese stick, and a bowl of veggie chips, or a piece of fruit or leftovers from dinner or something like that.

But now I m starting to get a little worried about my weight. I ve always fluctuated 10 pounds each year (I ll go from 120 to 130 in the fall in winter and then somehow lose it all in the spring and summer with no change in my diet; well maybe around the thanksgiving and christmas holidays but that s it). Even though I m somehow between 115-121 pounds right now, and 115 is technically underweight for me, (I m 5 7", and just so you know I have curves, I m not stick skinny like some of you might be thinking because of what I eat XD) I ve gained some fat and I think it might be because of the protein. I ve also been having women-related stuff going on, so I don t know if that s the cause of my weight gain. I m so confused, because I m gaining fat and I don t know why! Sigh... I don t exercise either, but that s never been a problem before.

I guess I ll wait out the 12 days to see if that s the reason for the gain, because I do feel bloated, ugh. But if not then I really don t know what to do, because I need the protein if I was possibly deficient. I guess I could start working out, since I usually don t exercise--that is, if I have the time.

But yeah, any tips or ideas or information about protein would be lovely so I don t completely screw up my body and gain 30 pounds out of no where, haha. I probably shouldn t have become a vegetarian being so ignorant on the lifestyle, but oh well. This is what yahoo answers is for. :D

Answer :
Big fan of a food journal, or at least mentally counting up the protein in your head. Do this for a few days or a week through your normal meals and snacking and see what you come up with. I personally aim for 50 g of protein. Some days I fall short and some days I pass that, but it s a good mark for me. Almond milk doesn t have much protein.. the cheese stick will likely have more protein. So you re getting 15 from the yogurt, 21 from the whey protein, around 3-4 from the peanut butter probably, probably 2 from the almond milk (double check this, I m going from memory..lol). Then there s probably at least a few grams in the cheese stick or your leftovers or whatever you re eating at that point. So you re pretty close to the mark and I wouldn t worry. But in that rendition of your day of food, the whey protein actually turned out to be a big important-ish portion of your protein.

If you think the whey protein may be making you feel bloated or heavier, try dumping it for a few days and note how you feel. Also note how much protein you re getting. See if you re getting a decent amount or if maybe you need to work some other sources in. It sounds like you really haven t gained weight, you just feel bloated or fatter than usual. I don t think the added protein would turn any of your muscle into fat or things like that. But it s possible it s causing you to return water or something. You know your body best, though.. so if it s not working for you, ditch it and find something else. Also you won t gain 30 pounds overnight without some serious binging, so I wouldn t worry too much about that. If you re eating more calories now than you were before, you may see some weight gain. But if it is unwanted or unhealthy, just tweak things a bit. For example, if you find you re gaining more weight than you want to, try cutting back to half or three quarters of the protein shake. Good luck!
