I went to the site and saw this ad. The irony is…breathtaking.

I think she needs to check with her ad provider, and see if that can be tweaked.

I’ll make thanksgiving a cheat day and eat whatever I want :stuck_out_tongue:

Show them that menu. If they see that and think it’s not “Thanksgiving enough” then they are just being jerks, and totally out of the spirit of the holiday, IMNSHO.

I usually also eat off plan on Thanksgiving, then jump back in a day later. Here’s my blood sugar from last Thanksgiving:

9.7 = 174.6 (multiply by 18). Considering a high blood sugar value for me while in ketosis is <110, that’s quite a peak.

Last year I cooked a full traditional Thanksgiving meal, including cornbread dressing, sweet potato casserole, mashed potatoes, rolls, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin and pecan pies.
I also roasted a turkey, steamed green beans, nuked mashed cauliflower, made deviled eggs, and dh did a ham.

My family had no idea I was on any kind of a diet. They never noticed that I pigged out on just the last 5 items + an assortment of munchies my son brought (pickles, cheese slices, olives, celery with cream cheese, jalapeno poppers). The rest of the family pigged out on everything. I thought I’d miss eating pumpkin pie but I was way too full to think about dessert. Everyone was happy. We’ll rinse and repeat this year.

I can’t wait to have some pumpkin pie! I haven’t had any in about 2 years. Is thanksgiving here yet?!?

Try something like this and stay keto / low carb:

No conundrum for me.

Eat optimal animal foods: Feel great, energy, good digestion, mental clarity

Eat what I want (MOAR STUFFING PLEASE): Feel like garbage, poor digestion, mental fog, pass the F out.

Easy choice, I will tolerate no guilt trips about it either.

I thought that’s what Thanksgiving was ALL about!

If you don’t do this, have you really celebrated Thanksgiving? :grin:

I read that a few days ago and thought it was really sound advice. :slight_smile:
