Thanksgiving food
Some questions and discussion
With Thanksgiving approaching I’d like to hear from anyone who follows any of the following diets.
Gluten Free
Autoimmune
Paleo
LowCarb
Keto
Carnivore
Vegetarian/Vegan
What do you eat for Thanksgiving as opposed to traditional Thanksgiving food?
What do you avoid eating for Thanksgiving?
Do you miss NOT eating traditional Thanksgiving food?
If keeping to your diet, do you feel OK after your Thanksgiving meal as opposed to when you ate all the traditional Thanksgiving foods?
Do you end up in discussions around the table about your dietary preferences?
I hope this becomes an interesting discussion that we can all learn a few things.
My diet is basically a low carb one. I also do the 16/8 fasting faithfully. I’m usually at someone else’s house for the meal on Thanksgiving. I eat whatever is offered to me on this day. But I do keep the portions down. I little bit of this and a little bit of that. You gotta live a little...
We always have turkey, only on thanksgiving. My sides have changed from stuffing to cauliflower mashers, instead of cranberries, butternut squash steamed and pureed with butter. Our traditional Hungarian mushrooms is everybody's favorite. The new added veg is cut up off the stalk brussel sprouts, cut up shallots, fried in 6 pieces of bacon fat (put cut up cooked bacon aside add at the end). And you do not need the gravy if you cook the turkey, dark side meat up, the turkey naturally juices itself, the fat and juices in the bottom of pan, acts as a better gravy anyway... By this time, no one needs dessert, the tryptophan has kicked in and they are all taking naps while I am cleaning up!
Wishing everyone a happy thanks for giving day, I have enjoyed everything written and posted this year!
