Summary

In this episode, Herman and Brooks discuss the common feelings of guilt and shame that often follow Thanksgiving meals. They emphasize that one meal does not ruin progress and that weight fluctuations are typically due to water retention rather than fat gain.

The hosts provide practical strategies for getting back on track after the holiday, including the importance of physical activity, mindful eating, and maintaining social connections. They encourage listeners to learn from their holiday experiences to improve future choices and to focus on enjoying food and community without guilt.
