everyone welcome to the fit healthy and happy podcast i'm your host josh here without a co-host um kiles away you know soaking up the sun getting some relaxation from all his relaxation no i'm kidding he's getting a well-earned break so it's just me on the mic and i want to go ahead and give everyone um a happy thanksgiving, to all my American listeners here, happy Thanksgiving

to you all. And as I was doing my check-ins, you know, with online coaching, so many people were like,

what the heck do I do for Thanksgiving? Like, I want to stick to my goals. I want to be successful,

but I also don't want to take away from being with my family and the amazing times

that kind of come with that you know with food and being together and being happy but I don't want to

deviate from my goals and throw it all under the sink so today I figured I'd take the time to

share a few strategies you know make sure we get out a really thoughtful and great episode

especially for the time so I'm going to jump right into that I will say though I'm going to put a few strategies, you know, make sure we get out a really thoughtful and great episode, especially

for the time. So I'm going to jump right into that. I will say, though, I'm going to put it all out there in the air. It's a little odd being the only one talking, and I like to talk, but I'm not sure I'm prepared to talk this much to be the only voice with no other person kind of chiming in. I get no breaks here, but hopefully y'all like

kind of what you're going to hear and I'm going to give you a lot of different thoughts.

So first and foremost, my number one opinion of Thanksgiving is that, well, if you don't know,

in Canada, we have our Thanksgiving earlier in October. I believe October 13th. I could be wrong.

Don't hold me to that.

But we do have it a little earlier. So we've already been there, done that. You know, we're living in the future a little bit. But for me, Thanksgiving is a great time because a lot of people say, oh, I struggle. It's so much food. But like, when you look down to it, a lot of it is really hard to eat kind of pretty healthy food in and of itself.

So for instance, if you look down to it, a lot of it is really hardy, kind of pretty healthy food

in and of itself. So for instance, if you look at foods like turkey, there is a lot of protein

in there, you know, and it's actually a pretty lean meat relative to most. So if you're eating a lot of

turkey, you're going to do pretty well. Then also come vegetable, you know, they're, come

Thanksgiving. There's a lot of great

carbs sources and things of that nature so for instance like a cranberry sauce is you know high in carbs

salads you know there's a lot of bread rolls things like that um sweet rolls you know so you just

kind of kind of know where everything falls you know and then stuffing obviously
