Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, which means airports, couches and plates large enough to qualify as furniture. Holidays amplify every off track habit at once. This episode offers one tiny lever to survive the chaos so you can enjoy the day without waking up Friday in correction mode.
What You’ll Learn
- Why Thanksgiving breaks your brain: long gaps, grazing, mystery recipes and fat slowed absorption
- The “First Plate Decision”: decide before the first bite whether you’ll front load, split dose or slow roll your bolus
- The “Anchor Alarm”: set one mid”meal reminder to glance at your CGM and adjust if necessary
- How pre”deciding your lane and adding one nudge reduces decision fatigue at the table
Tiny Levers
Choose one lever for the next two days:
- First Plate Decision: Before bite one, choose your lane out loud...front load, split dose or slow roll...and follow through.
- Anchor Alarm: Set a silent reminder halfway through the meal window to glance at your CGM and make a small adjustment.
Take Action
Pick your lever for Thanksgiving and commit. Finish the prompt “Tomorrow I’m choosing ___, so that ___,” and share it with Neil.
