Since I had to fly home early to catch Florida/Florida State game in the Swamp on Saturday, I missed out on several days worth of Turkey Day leftovers. To cope, I spent yesterday (Sunday) eating Starburst and Peanut Butter M&Ms. The calories I consumed were likely on par with a thanksgiving meal, but it just wasn't the same. Today I'm doing much better with some oatmeal and a big glass of milk, already feeling like my pre-stuffed self.
To anyone still feeling bloated and self-hating going on four days since the great Thanksgiving feast of 2009, MSN health has a three-day, hour-by-hour plan to get you feeling good about yourself again.
Personally, I think their by-the-hour help is a bit much. Okay, you ate a lot this weekend. So did everyone else. If you don't eat that way every weekend chances are it's not going to have too detrimental an effect on your waistline. Still, I'm not against a little bit of dietary cleansing to get us feeling better after America's perennial turkey and mashed potato gorge-fest. MSN's plan includes mantras to keep you motivated and easy recipes for low-cal foods.
It's important to remember, though, that 3 days of detox followed by another week of crazy eating gets you nowhere. Theoretically, the tips offered in this "diet recovery plan" should be followed year-round. It's a lifestyle, people.
