5 Ways to Get Back in Shape After Thanksgiving

First Tip? Plenty of Water!

Sorry to break it to you, but you need to detox and stay hydrated after a few sips of your favorite alcoholic beverage! Don't go overboard with soda, juices, and sugary drinks but choose water between your meals. Water hydrates your body and flushes the body to eliminate toxins and high-fat, high-calorie Thanksgiving dishes. A good rule for drinking water is to drink at least eight glasses of water per day.

The Key is Balance

Once you're on track, it will be easy to bounce back to your normal diet and lifestyle, so don't go nuts with calories! It's best to incorporate non-starchy vegetables like asparagus, cabbage, spinach, and mushrooms in your post-Thanksgiving meals. Don't forget to pair the vegetables with lean protein, a few healthy fats, and a small portion of slow-burning starch. Remember, we're cutting back on carbs but don't cut them out completely! They're good for you too.

"You Gotta Work it Out"

Our Queen Beyonce once said, "You gotta work it out." When it comes to keeping your body in shape, Bey doesn't miss the mark. Yes, fellas, this applies to you too *wink, wink*. After Thanksgiving, get that booty back in the gym to keep your metabolism going and to burn extra calories. Working out will make you feel more energized after a long day of massive eating so if you plan to shop on Black Friday, then this is much needed. Pssst... Don't forget to take advantage of our Black Friday Sale!
