Several patients came in yesterday who had great success during Thanksgiving week in their weight loss efforts. In common, this was their plan of action: they decided not to deprive themselves of any particular food source (excpt alcohol) that was around the table, but they took only "tasting" portions of the different foods. From the mashed potatoes to the stuffing to the sweet potatoe casserole, small spoon-sized portions were tasted. This action seemed to result in not feeling completely "deprived", which is a terrbibly frustrating sensation.
Both patients did'nt lose lots of weight this week...about 1.5 pounds, BUT the important point is that they had a great Thanksgiving holiday, were able to partake of the variou food sources and did not feel deprived.
As the Christmas parties start abounding, consider that strategy to help your weight loss efforts.
