........... Thanksgiving Day
I'm not sure which is more significant
Oh , I suppose its the turkey thing - I mean people aren't travelling for Black Friday , are they ?
We are invited to our second American Thanksgiving . the first was an afternoon affair and everyone went home to sleep before getting up at 3 Am for shopping
To -day , is more sane. We are going at 4 Pm and the host doesn't believe in BF shopping. This timing is more like home for our Oct. TD.
I'm not expecting rice which could be a let down.
BTW. In Womans World mag , an article on weight control for the holidays had this advice
Don't skip meals preparing for holiday dining , in the words of the test pilots in the movies the ' right Stuff ', ' keep an even strain '
Worried about rich desserts ? Drink milk w/ the sweet treat. Milk helps block absorption of fat up to 20 %.
Turkey left overs are good b/c eating protein is more satisfying but less fattening b/c you tend to burn calories after a protein meal , say 30 % of meal as protein.
Eating re - heated carbohydrates such as pasta / rice / potatoes is beneficial b/c cooked / refrigerated / and re - cooked carbs are converted to starch resistant food. Meaning that your body absorbs less starch but you feel full
Now , how useful is this ? dunno
But I eat re - heated potatoes / rice , all the time
OKAY , bring on that bird !!!
Happy TD !! Y'all ( they say that down here a lot ! )
