Stop believing that one or two days of overeating $Stop believing that one or two days of overeating over Thanksgiving makes your diet a lost cause!⁣ ⁣ In a study published in The Journal of Physiological Anthropology titled “Measurement of body composition in response to a short period of overfeeding,” participants did not gain fat mass or increase their body fat percentage due to overfeeding/overeating.⁣ ⁣ The overfeeding of 1,500 kcal per day over 3 consecutive days (total of 4,500 calories) led to increased body weight though 𝐧𝐨 significant increases in 𝐟𝐚𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐬𝐬 and % 𝐟𝐚𝐭. ⁣ ⁣ However, total body weight increased on average by 1.5 lbs during the 3 days of overfeeding.⁣ ⁣ The increased total body weight could be the result of⁣ ⁣ 1️⃣The ingestion of an excessive amount of 𝐬𝐨𝐝𝐢𝐮𝐦 during overfeeding. After the ingestion of dietary sodium, there is a subsequent rise in plasma sodium, and to maintain fluid homeostasis, thirst is stimulated, which promotes 2️⃣ 𝐟𝐥𝐮𝐢𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. The temporary accumulation of sodium may increase body weight due to transient overfeeding, and 3️⃣𝐆𝐥𝐲𝐜𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐧 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞. The molecular fraction of glycogen is hydrated by water molecules in a ratio of approximately 1:3 and structurally contains an abundant amount of water. Therefore, it has the possibility to contribute to the increase seen in total body weight.⁣ ⁣ 𝐒𝐔𝐌𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐘: The increased body weight returned to the baseline body weight over an average of 5 days, though there were individual differences (0 to 14 days) because it was likely due to increased sodium, increased water consumption, and increased glycogen storage, not fat gain. When subjects were free to follow their regular lifestyles during the postintervention period, their body weights reduced relatively early.

You need to stop allowing someone else to decide.

Unpopular Opinion: You can still enjoy Thanksgiving foods and not gain weight!

Have you resigned yourself to the fact that in November and December you ALWAYS gain weight? You tell yourself “This is what happens over the holidays.”

This year can be different. You don’t have to stuff yourself until you are so uncomfortable that you have to unbutton your pants or put your favorite leggings or joggers on after you eat. You can still enjoy some stuffing, pumpkin pie, and wine and feel amazing after Thanksgiving.
