Thanksgiving is a celebration of gluttony, American-style.
No other event on the calendar is so centered around food. The average Turkey Day dinner contains a whopping 3,000 calories, a full day’s worth in one orgy of turkey, starches and gravy.
The toll for the whole day can be twice that when you factor in seconds (and thirds?), snacks, desserts and adult beverages.
And then for days afterward there are leftovers, tempting you to indulge again and again and again.
But Thanksgiving doesn’t have to be the launching point of the holiday march to weight gain, with the inevitable Jan. 1 guilt that drives hordes to Pikes Peak region gyms.
