Thanksgiving, and the Holidays in general, can wreak havoc on your Keto Diet if you aren't prepared. With all the potatoes, rolls and deserts, it can be a challenge, even for the most dedicated of us!!
In this article we explore Frank and Cats 4 Best Tips for staying Keto on Thanksgiving!!
TIP #1 - Have Keto Friendly Alternatives Available
This is actually a great tip for most of the year, but it really helps on a holiday like Thanksgiving, even when you are going somewhere else for the day.
For example, we will be spending the day at my sister-in-laws and we will be bringing a Keto friendly cheese cake for desert, salami and cheese for an appetizer and some Keto rolls to eat with our dinner. These amazing alternatives will help keep us satisfied throughout the day.
Tip #2 - Eat Early, Eat Often
One of the great things about eating Keto is all the fat can keep you really full. This is particularly important on Thanksgiving when you might be even more tempted to stray. Making sure that you are getting you fats in starting early in the day will help to insure that you don't reach for the carb laden foods later on that day.
Tip #3 - Thanksgiving is Just One Day
If you decide you don't want to follow a Keto Diet on Thanksgiving and you want to indulge in some non Keto food, remember that Thanksgiving is just one day. It's not Wednesday. Its not Friday. Its Thursday. Enjoy the foods you want on Thursday and then get back on the plan on Friday.
Tip #4 - Drink Exogenous Ketones
Drinking Exogenous Ketones (See our Ketone Review Here) will keep your body in Ketosis for 6 - 8 hours, even if you don't follow a Keto Diet. This is a great way for you to stay in Ketosis on Thanksgiving, even if you don't follow a Keto Diet that day.
