On this episode of the American Glutton Podcast, we dive into the food-heavy celebrations that define our holidays, from Halloween candy to Thanksgiving feasts and everything in between. We question how these events became so focused on indulgence and share personal anecdotes about the struggle to maintain dietary goals amidst the tempting spreads.Thanksgiving always presents its own set of challenges, and this year we're arming you with strategies to navigate the table with grace. Whether it's intermittent fasting, mastering portion control, or simply finding a method that fits your lifestyle, we emphasize that there's no universal answer. The key is making rational decisions and avoiding the traps of extreme dieting—those guilt-induced gym sessions can do more harm than good. We also touch on the emotional significance of food traditions and how our personal stories play into the larger narrative of holiday eating.EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS(00:00) Episode Intro(03:00) Navigating Holiday Binge Eating Challenges(18:57) Navigating Thanksgiving Indulgence and Balance(31:21) Overcoming Overeating(37:23) Navigating Holiday Food Traditions(51:12) Being the Best Version of Myself Hosted on Acast.
