Thanks giving, what to do to have a good time but not over due it!

Whats up guys, for this weeks article I decided to talk about thanksgiving's do's and don'ts. Now two ways to look at this, It's winter time so your either bulking which a lot of us are doing or your just losing weight because you have decided to get into health and fitness. Also there are the people who like to stay lean throughout the whole year and have an ultimate healthy life style.


Bulkers- As for us, the people who are in this stage. EAT EAT EAT. It's not going to effect you that bad and your body is already used to getting in a crazy amount of calories regardless right? just MAKE SURE your still eating every 2-4 hours even if you have a crazy amount of food at one you still need to eat at least 3 more meals for the day. Whether they be protein shakes, little snacks, that's fine but you still need to get those meals in throughout the day so your body doesn't go into starvation mode.


Cutters/Fat Loss- Right now is the hardest part of the year for you, especially because of all the holidays coming up and what does your family do? That's right! Cook delicious food, bake delicious snacks, and chow down! You may have a couple of ideas in your head like "I'll eat a lot and not eat for the rest of the day" or "I'll eat a lot today and not eat a lot tomorrow" All of these types of ideas are horrible. You still need to get your small meals in throughout the day so your metabolism keeps burning, and you can't starve yourself the next day because your body will start eating away at its proteins/muscles and you will be in a bigger whole. Try this, eat smaller portions. Lunch time have a little turkey, have a little corn, have a little pasta, whatever your family makes. An hour and a half to two hours later get a little plate and have a couple cookies, some brownies. Spacing it out will 1. Not have a BIG meal go in at once that will slow down your metabolism and 2. The little bit every hour and a half to two hours will still keep you in check with your small meals throughout the day, not exactly what your body needs but it WILL HELP keep your metabolism going, keeping you on track with your eating schedule, and making you feel less bloated. Remember still get your meals in for the rest of the day, don't skip because that will throw away all the hard work you've put in with speeding up that metabolism!






Mikey's Fitness TIP: For me I've always followed one rule, holidays only come once a year and I've always enjoyed them, pigged out, and had fun. I'm not telling you that YOU need to do this, but I'm saying everyone should get at least 1 cheat meal a week right? So why not have it on a day that you can enjoy with your family and friends? Some people may be opposed to that statement and some people may not be. Fact of the matter is this fitness is suppose to be fun, educational, and a WANT in life. If you stress yourself out so much how are you suppose to have fun with it? Fitness should be an awesome experience not a gauntlet with chains and axes.
