Come January and 7 lbs heavier you&#8217;ll be wondering how it all happened.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s said that the average American Thanksgiving meal can contain up to a whopping 4,500 calories. That&#8217;s the equivalent of about 28 glazed donuts in one sitting. Doesn&#8217;t bear thinking about does it?<\/p>\n<h1>So what&#8217;s a healthy eating plan?<\/h1>\n<p>I&#8217;ve seen a lot of so called &#8220;healthy&#8221; recipes that people have been sharing on Facebook recently as well as ones that have dropped into my email box that are full of sugar. I saw one that had both brown and white sugar in the ingredients. By no stretch of the imagination can that be healthy. Don&#8217;t fall for those recipes.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s been so much written about why sugar is bad for you and I&#8217;ve already written a lot <strong><a title=\"The Sugar Detox Diet: The Brilliant Way To Lose Weight and Feel Great\" href=\"https:\/\/thedetoxspecialist.com\/blog\/detox\/sugar-detox-detox\/the-sugar-detox-diet-the-brilliant-way-to-lose-weight-and-feel-great\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">about sugar<\/a><\/strong> on this blog as well that I hardly need to go into it again here. Just remember that it&#8217;s sugar and refined food that is fueling the obesity and diabetes epidemic and not saturated fat.<\/p>\n<p>Once for ounce there are more calories in fat so if you are trying to lose weight you still should watch how much fat you are eating.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Healthy eating plan\u00a0with healthy Thanksgiving recipes.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h2>1. Pre-Load your liver<\/h2>\n<p>If your liver is in top form you will better equipped to digest fat and process fat. This means you will stay lean even in times of indulgence.<\/p>\n<p>Whole foods like lemons, artichoke, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/thedetoxspecialist.com\/blog\/beet-detox-health-benefits-of-beets-and-beet-juice\/\">beets<\/a><\/strong> (beetroot), cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, Brussels sprouts, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/thedetoxspecialist.com\/blog\/how-to-use-kale-for-detox\/\">kale<\/a><\/strong>, arugula and cabbage; fennel seeds, dandelion, turmeric, curcumin, garlic, ginger, cilantro (coriander) and parsley all help to support liver function, so load up on them at least a week before your festive meal.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>2. Start the day right<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Start the day with a green smoothie or a healthy breakfast that will sustain you or both. It&#8217;s disastrous to starve yourself so you can eat more of the Thankgiving meal. You will be so hungry that you won&#8217;t be able to resist temptation.<\/p>\n<p>Make yourself a green smoothie when you get up and wait for at least 30 minutes to let it digest before you have breakfast. (see below for ideas)<\/p>\n<p>One idea to make your green smoothie more sustaining and a breakfast in one is by adding some oats to it.\u00a0 Katherine is calls them Green Thickies.

Blend the dry ingredients and liquid first for a short time<br \/>\n2. Blend the greens next for a short time (if using)<br \/>\n3. Blend the fruit and the rest of the ingredients until smooth (or as smooth as your blender will allow.<\/p>\n<p>High speed blenders may need 2 minutes for a Green Thickie, less powerful blenders may need a lot more, sometimes 5-10 minutes) Blending this way allows the dry ingredients to be blended for longest, it means the greens will fit in your blender and your fruit gets less blending so it doesn\u2019t become too hot. Add more liquid if required to thin it out.<\/p>\n<h2>Breakfast ideas:<\/h2>\n<p>Eggs fried or scrambled in coconut butter topped with halved cherry tomatoes, sliced avocado and salsa verde.<\/p>\n<h3>Easy Almond Flour Blueberry Pancakes<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6713\" src=\"https:\/\/thedetoxspecialist.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/AlmondFlourPancakes.jpg\" alt=\"healthy thanksgiving recipes\" width=\"440\" height=\"356\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thedetoxspecialist.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/AlmondFlourPancakes.jpg 440w, https:\/\/thedetoxspecialist.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/AlmondFlourPancakes-300x242.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 440px) 100vw, 440px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>These are gluten free and can be made in less than five minutes!\u00a0\u00a0 The recipe is from\u00a0 Katie, The Wellness Mama, real food crusader.

Melt the coconut oil in a large baking tin in the oven if solid then toss the squash with it and the spices. Season with salt &amp; pepper to taste and spread squash in the baking tin or baking sheet. Cook for about 40 minutes until tender and just beginning to brown at the edges. Place in suitable serving bowl.<\/p>\n<p>You can roast a combination of carrots, squash and parsnips the same way. Garnish with some chopped fresh herbs such as parsley, basil or thyme.<\/p>\n<p>Using coconut oil is healthier for roasting vegetables than olive oil. The fatty acids in olive oil can be damaged if you heat it above 180C and many experts say they can be damaged at that temperature so I have taken to cooking in coconut oil.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Green Beans with Salsa Verde<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Serves 10<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Ingredients<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>2 1\/2 lbs green beans, trimmed<br \/>\n150 ml extra virgin olive oil<br \/>\n4 tbsp fresh mint leaves, finely chopped<br \/>\n4 tbsp flat leaf parsley, finely chopped<br \/>\n2 tbsp chervil, finely chopped<br \/>\n2 tbsp fresh dill, finely chopped<br \/>\n4 tbsp small capers, rinsed and drained<br \/>\n1 lemon, juice and zest<br \/>\n2 small shallots, trimmed and finely chopped<br \/>\nCeltic or Himalayan salt<br \/>\nFreshly ground black pepper<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Directions<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Heat oil gently over low heat.

So, if you prefer traditional mashed potato to sweet potato mash go right ahead and enjoy it.<\/p>\n<p>Makes 8 servings approx<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Ingredients<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>3 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes (about 12 medium), the best sort for perfect Thanksgiving mash<br \/>\n1 large clove garlic, minced or finely chopped<br \/>\n1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped<br \/>\n1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped<br \/>\n1 tablespoon fresh sage, finely chopped<br \/>\n1 tablespoon fresh thyme, finely chopped<br \/>\n1\/8 teaspoon black pepper<br \/>\n1\/4 cup extra virgin organic olive oil or organic butter<br \/>\n1\/8 teaspoon Celtic or Himalayan salt<br \/>\nExtra salt for seasoning<br \/>\nFreshly ground black pepper to taste<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Directions<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Peel potatoes and cut into 2-inch chunks.

Enjoy a small portion of dessert<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Traditional thanksgiving desserts are typically full of sugar. Fruit desserts are best if you have a choice. Take a small portion of the one you choose and eat slowly. Chew each bite well and enjoy the flavor.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a recipe for Pumpkin Pie made with a delicious walnut crust and maple syrup instead of white flour and white sugar. Although maple syrup is technically a sugar it does contain some minerals so is okay to use as a sweetener once in a while. One study found that real maple syrup does not cause the same spike in blood insulin levels as some other sugars.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6718\" src=\"https:\/\/thedetoxspecialist.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/PumpkinPiePaleo.jpg\" alt=\"healthy thanksgiving recipes\" width=\"424\" height=\"318\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thedetoxspecialist.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/PumpkinPiePaleo.jpg 424w, https:\/\/thedetoxspecialist.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/PumpkinPiePaleo-300x224.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 424px) 100vw, 424px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s from Sarah Ballantyne, The Paleo Mom.
