Well, it&#8217;s not really how Thanksgiving is celebrated as much as how people judge eating habits.<\/p>\n<p>People need to stop freaking out about one day where diet rules seem to no longer exist.<\/p>\n<p>Every year, you&#8217;ll see people (full disclosure: it&#8217;s usually fitness or nutrition pros) recommending complete withdrawal of your favorite foods, or showing you how many minutes of exercise you need to complete in order to burn off your 3 servings of pumpkin pie.<\/p>\n<p>Back. Off.<\/p>\n<p>The holiday isn&#8217;t prep for a bodybuilding competition. It&#8217;s a day designed to be with family, relax, express thanks, give back to those that have less, and &#8212; if you want to &#8212; eat a few more calories than you normally do.<\/p>\n<p>People will say we should not use food as a reward. That makes sense.<\/p>\n<p>But, that&#8217;s not what this is. Sometimes, food is part of culture and tradition. This is not a bad thing.<\/p>\n<p>Want to know what&#8217;s really wrong?<\/p>\n<p>Trying to convince people that overeating too many calories for one day will make a difference. It doesn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<h2>What happens when you overeat? (The Surprising Science of Fat Gain)<\/h2>\n<p>You&#8217;ll see plenty of stats about how the average American will gain anywhere between 5 and 10 pounds between now and the end of the year on diet plans that lose all focus.<\/p>\n<p>Guess what?\u00a0That weight gain does <em>not <\/em>occur\u00a0in a day or two.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the truth: if you were to overeat by 1,000 to 2,000 calories in one meal, you will not gain any fat. Even if you extend that to 3,000 calories, you&#8217;re not going to add <em>any<\/em> real fat to your body.<\/p>\n<p>You might feel bloated. You might be holding water. But, that will regulate. Science shows that one bad meal does not cause fat gain. It doesn&#8217;t happen in a 24-hour cycle.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s the same flawed mentality that drives so many diet books to pinpoint one factor that causes weight gain or sparks weight loss.<\/p>\n<p>Go ahead and eat to your heart&#8217;s content on Thanksgiving or Christmas.<\/p>\n<p>If you still are stressed, turn your concerns into a math problem for stress relief (and some dietary sanity).<\/p>\n<p>To gain weight, you need to eat roughly eat 3,500 <em>more calories<\/em> than you typically consume. (It&#8217;s probably even more than that. And yes, the old 3,500 calories equals a pound isn&#8217;t exactly accurate, but this example still proves a powerful point.)<\/p>\n<p>So, let&#8217;s say you normally eat 2,000 calories per day. If you wanted to make any\u00a0<em>real damage <\/em>to the scale, you&#8217;d probably need to consume <em>at least<\/em> 6,000 calories in a day.<\/p>\n<p>That is a ton of calories. Even most surveys suggest that American&#8217;s only hit about <a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/Health\/calories-americans-eat-thanksgiving\/story?id=43690796#:~:text=Americans%20consume%20an%20average%20of%204%2C500%20calories%20on%20Thanksgiving.\">4,500 calories on Thanksgiving.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Many factors can cause weight gain. One bad day of eating &#8212; especially on a holiday &#8212; is not one of those causes.<\/p>\n<p>Need more proof? Take the logic of one gluttonous day of eating and apply it to exercise.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine if you spent one entire day exercising, burning calories, and being the human version of the Energizer Bunny (you keep going&#8230; and going&#8230; and going). And\u00a0then the rest of the week (or\u00a0month) you did nothing.<\/p>\n<p>Would you really expect to be healthy, fit, and look incredible?<\/p>\n<p>Of course not. That one day of massive calorie burn would not offset the energy imbalance created by the rest of the time.<\/p>\n<p>With weight loss and gain,\u00a0you have to see the bigger picture and understand that nothing occurs in a vacuum. You don&#8217;t gain muscle off of one set of curls; it&#8217;s the accumulation of volume and stress over time. And you don&#8217;t add fat from the infrequent binge, no matter how ridiculous the meal could become.<\/p>\n<p>Is this a license to throw all caution to the wind, eat everything you want, and give the middle finger to a healthy diet? Of course not.<\/p>\n<p>You should still eat with comfort and enjoyment in mind. If you&#8217;re doing anything to the point that you don&#8217;t feel good, then you&#8217;re probably pushing a little too aggressively.<\/p>\n<p>Or, if you know from past experiences that one big indulgence leads to a month of bad habits, then it&#8217;s your job to put some restrictions on how much you eat to prevent the single day of enjoyment from turning into a longer period of time.<\/p>\n<h2>What To Do After You Overeat<\/h2>\n<p>When you have an &#8220;off&#8221; day and eat too much, you don&#8217;t need to do anything special. You simply need to return to better, normal eating habits.<\/p>\n<p>Restriction and living in fear is not needed. Life is meant to be enjoyed, and sometimes that means eating foods that aren&#8217;t healthy, not punishing yourself for those behaviors, and acting like that these diet breaks are allowed (because they are).<\/p>\n<p>Every day isn&#8217;t a party or a holiday. And you shouldn&#8217;t eat like it. But, when those days occur, food stress shouldn&#8217;t factor into the equation.<\/p>\n<p>It might not seem healthy, but adding in a few days where you don&#8217;t have rules into the mix of many days when you have boundaries is a fair, reasonable trade.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s sustainable and will lead to better results. Because any diet that includes food you can enjoy with foods you know are good for you, is likely to be followed for a longer period of time, and that&#8217;s when you see the biggest transformations.<\/p>\n<p>It might not sound exciting, but better health, less stress, and more good holiday. memories is something we can all celebrate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To understand why you still don&#8217;t look the way you want, you have to rethink weight loss.
