Holiday Meal Damage Control Super Shake
Well, this is what I call damage-control season. Starting with Halloween candy, transitioning to pumpkin pie and turkey, on to Christmas parties, then Christmas day, and finally booze and bar food to ring in the New Year. It is six weeks of nutritional debauchery and it is completely uncalled for. It is classic American over-indulgence at its finest.
I am not saying you can’t enjoy a quality meal and a drink with your family and friends. I am saying that going into an all-out, gluttonous, free-for-all, pig-out is bullshit. Believe me, you are not being deprived if you don’t partake in the "Annual Pumpkin Pie Eat-off."
What I do suggest is that you take a moment to remember what this time of year is all about. And I don’t care if you are Christian or not. It’s about family, being thankful and sharing, and then starting new again. So let me help you manage this situation with something that I use in my nutritional arsenal.
It’s a simple shake. I am not going to bore you with the nutritional details. Just know that this shake covers a lot of bases. I’ve also included an easy implementation strategy using this shake to help stop the gluttony.

Shake Ingredients
2-3 scoops protein powder
20-32 ounces WATER
2 tablespoons flaxmeal (optional)
1 serving greens drink (like Greens First)
2-4 capsules of fish oil
Drink early and often. If you know you are going to a party later in the evening, drink a shake like the one described above in early morning, in mid-afternoon, and then one more when you get off work. This will do two things:
1. Stabilize your hormones.
2. Keep you full to minimize consumption at the party. This can include reducing the volume of alcohol because of the volume of liquid involved with the shake.
Fill ‘er up before you go. For all of you who think you are saving yourself by not eating anything until that big holiday meal in the afternoon or evening, you are sorely mistaken. What you are really setting yourself up for is major bodyfat accumulation. If, instead, you mixed a couple of the shakes and drank them during the day, you could have a serious tool in the fight against bodyfat. Here’s what you do:
-Mix up two equal-size shakes as shown above.
-Drink one within an hour after getting out of bed.
-Drink the second one three hours later.
-Then eat your family meal.
Bam! Instant damage control. It doesn’t get much simpler than that.
Good luck, and enjoy your holiday season.
Anderson’s Orange Juice
This is my tried-and-true, never-make-you-crash morning pick me up.
16-24 ounces green tea (I like to use Trader Joe’s green tea as it already has a little orange essence)
1-1 1/2 servings Power Drive (Power Drive is a neuro-transmitter support supplement. Long story short, it helps you focus)

Green tea helps prevent heart disease and stroke by lowering the level of cholesterol. Even after a heart attack, it prevents cell death and speeds up the recovery of heart cells.

blood sugar level, and balances your metabolism rate.
