Undoing Turkey Day Damage

Diet & Weight Loss, Fitness, Nutrition & Supplements

fat bellyHopefully, most of you made great choices for your health yesterday, on Thanksgiving Day. You exercised in the morning, avoided too many appetizers and stuck to only one piece of pie. If you did that, congratulations -- I'm proud of you!

If you went a little nut-so on the nuts and gobbled up several different desserts, though ... it's time to get to work. Weight gain comes as a direct result of consuming more calories than you burn. It's quite possible that you actually gained anywhere from a half a pound to three in just one day. Yeesh!

Your second priority is to force vigorous exercise into each day during the next week as well. Vigorous exercise leaves you huffing, puffing and sweating profusely. Do lots of it.

How Many Calories ... in Stuffing?

How Many Calories?

Thanksgiving is close by, and one of my favourite parts of the turkey dinner is without a doubt the stuffing, particularly the way my mum makes it. With the exception of dessert, thanksgiving dishes are usually pretty healthy -- there's lots of vegetables and lean turkey meat, so it seems stuffing is the least healthy part of the meal. But is it? It's basically just bread, vegetables and herbs cooked inside the turkey, right? So is it healthy or not?

How many calories are in a cup-sized serving of stuffing?
