I am sick and tired of all the half-wit health crap on TV and the internet. Warning people to eat "light" and count calories while trying to enjoy a Thanksgiving meal. I say, enjoy yourself. Enjoyment of life is healthy. Being around family is healthy. Over-feeding every once in a while is ANABOLIC. That's right, scarfing down a heaping of turkey laced with tryptophan will help protein synthesis along. Add in the sugar and you just boosted your insulin. Now, your body is working overtime trying to use all the macronutrients it is being given. It works over time -- your METABOLISM raises. You burn more calories just sitting there and laughing up a storm with uncle Jed because Grandma Martha let out a noise she said came from a "barking ghost".
For athletes and fitness enthusiasts, this is just a time to really enjoy ourselves and screw all the rules of health for a day.
Over eat and enjoy Thanksgiving.
In good health,
Ty
