Oh, Thanksgiving.
We approach you with the best intentions, but sometimes your stuffing, sweet potato casserole, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie are just too tempting.
If you’re like most Americans, you’ll probably consume more sugar, gluten, and empty carbs than you have all year.
But don’t guilt trip yourself...
Instead, take action to get back on track and help your body recover the best way possible - with the nutrients it needs to re-balance and thrive.
Because our readers are like family, I’ve put together a 6-step game plan to help you do just that!
It’s uniquely designed to regulate your blood sugar levels AND reset your digestive system fast...
6 Simple Steps to Bounce Back After Thanksgiving
1. Go for a Walk
Feeling wiped out after the big meal? That’s often a sign your blood sugar is spiking and crashing. Time to lace up and get moving! A study from George Washington University found that a simple 15-minute walk after a meal can help keep your blood sugar steady. Plus, that quick stroll can curb cravings, so you’ll be less likely to reach for another round of dessert.
2. Get Extra Sleep That Night
An American Heart Association study found that losing just 80 minutes of sleep led participants to eat an extra 550 calories the next day! After a big Thanksgiving meal, giving yourself a full night’s rest can help you avoid cravings and regain control over your appetite.

3. Boost Detox Pathways
The morning after a big meal, your body might feel a bit sluggish. Kickstart detox and digestion with 10 oz of warm water, a squeeze of lemon, and a pinch of ground ginger. This simple drink supports liver function and healthy bile flow to help you feel refreshed. Or try a soothing Golden Milk Latte - packed with turmeric and ginger, it’s a delicious way to start your morning right.
4. Eat a Healthy Breakfast the Next Day
Ok, this one’s pretty obvious, but you’d be surprised how often it’s ignored. The morning after Thanksgiving, starting with a high-protein breakfast is essential to help your body recover from overindulgence. Protein naturally balances blood sugar, giving your system a break from the sugar and empty carbs it’s still processing. Something like scrambled eggs or a smoothie made with Whey Protein Powder are easy, satisfying options to help you feel energized and ready to take on the day.
5. Load Up on Protein at Lunch
Keep the blood sugar balance going strong with a lean protein and complex carbs for lunch. Leftover turkey works perfectly, but instead of reaching for the stuffing, pair it with detoxifying cruciferous veggies like broccoli or cauliflower and add an avocado for some healthy fats.

6. Detox at Dinner
For your last meal of the day, focus on foods that help your body reset and set you up for success the next day. Choose lean protein and pair it with raw sauerkraut or liver-supporting veggies like beets, carrots, or broccoli sprouts to encourage natural detox.
