Because between all that turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and pie, your holiday meal can bust your diet.

You would have to do one hour of yoga to burn off one slice of pumpkin pie. Play 20 minutes of flag football to burn of a buttered roll. Those mashed potatoes will lead to 30minutes of hiking. And finally, 4 slices of turkey will have you doing 20minutes of pushups traditional holiday food. But hate the traditional holiday weight gain. There are also ways to make the meal itself healthier. Experts say use fatfree chicken broth for basting the turkey and for making gravy. Use sugar substitutes like nutrasweet or agave nector in place of sugar. You can also use fruit purees instead of oil in baked goods. Try to limit the amount of oil you use. And go for a lowfat butter option. Substitute plain yogurt o sour cream in casseroles and mashed potatoes or in creamy dips. Make sure there are plenty of vegetable options at the table it may not be all if you think you need a nap after that holiday meal. Diet experts say there are plenty of other foods to blame for those yawns. While turkey does contain tryptophan, which is an amino acid that takes most of the sleepiness blame. It can also be found in a lot of different protein sources. Like simple carbs in stuffing and potatoes. Dejulius says you may feel a little bit more sleepy, but not so much that its putting the turkey to blame. Usually its the combination of, sure a little bit of tryptophan, with the high amount of foods that were especially the excessive amount of carbohydrates. If youre trying to avoid that post meal crash. Try to fill half of your plate with veggies. In addition its also better for your blood sugar to eat more turkey than overloading on carbs. Turkeyfree turkey what does that mean . Like free james brown . Or turkey gwet your free turkey no. Like not eating turkey on thanksgiving. Oh sounds boring. But there are lots of people who do it. And this way to brag about it. Well show you nothing is more annoying than a cell phone going off at the dinner table. Thanksgiving is a time of giving thanks and family bonding. Coming up.

Post a picture of your alternatives using the hashtag turkey free thanksgiving. Its not news that people use their but thanksgiving should be one meal where people put away their screens and focus around them. For those of you who have to snap a picture of how great your turkey and mashed potatoes look. Try doing it before everyone gets settled so there wont be any interuptions during your meal. To encourage everyone to stay off their phones. Try putting them all in the middle of the first one to cave and reach for their phonegets to wash the dishes. Or if your family takes the paper plate route. Make that person put away all the leftovers. And we all know there will be plenty of that.
