The faster you can get back on track after Thanksgiving, the faster you’ll lose weight and better you’ll feel about yourself. The secret to get back in control after a holiday, is to structure your food intake. Limit yourself to 500-1000 calories a day of protein and fat, in portion controlled servings. Eat the same thing for at least 2 days in a row. A fast food hamburger (no burn) is 200 calories – eat 4-6 burgers a day. A small can of tuna or chicken is 100-150 calories – eat 4-6 a day. A fat-free hot dog is 50 calories – eat 6-12 a day. Eggs are 80 calories each – eat up to a dozen a day.
