“The Bead Diet”
Thanksgiving Day Protocol
Following
are the guidelines for maintenance during the Thanksgiving holiday (note these
are guidelines rather than rules):
-
Hours
are extended from 12 noon until 8 p.m. If you are eating past 8
p.m., make sure that you finish eating at least 2 hours before you go to
bed.
-
Start the day at 12 noon with a Granny Smith apple
or ˝ grapefruit. If dinner is early, have the apple or grapefruit at 6pm.
-
Only diet liquids until the main meal.
-
1
˝ lbs of vegetables and up to a total of 5 to 7 ounces of protein,
preferably turkey, chicken, or fish (please note that heavier proteins such
as beef might give you an upset stomach).
-
Fill
up first on the veggies and protein. After that, if you would like
to taste other things do just that--taste and be sensible (i.e., not a whole
plateful).
-
One
glass of wine or clean alcohol (e.g., vodka tonic, scotch and diet soda, no
juice).
-
When
eating, concentrate on food rather than conversation.
You’ll enjoy the food more and you can talk later.
-
You
will find your sense of satisfaction comes quickly. Listen to your
body and stop eating when you feel satisfied. Paying attention
will stop you from overeating--your old habits are still there but not if
you say NO.
-
Friday and Saturday are milk/yogurt days;
-
Sunday and Monday are fruit/veggie days
Our goal during Thanksgiving is to maintain your
weight. We are not concerned with weight loss during this time.
Happy Holiday!!!
