Are We the Only Ones Who Think Thanksgiving Is The Best Holiday? Ft. Jared Freid

To help celebrate Thanksgiving (and all the food anxiety that comes with it) Sami and Aleen are joined once again by comedian Jared Freid of the U Up? podcast. They start by sharing their Thanksgiving plans and discuss how to navigate family gatherings this year. Jared shares his experience working with a registered dietician, including how DST led him to try it out, and tells a story about allowing himself to finish a container of peanuts. They talk about the challenge of setting fitness goals that aren’t just about looking good in a photo, how family members reinforce our issues, and why we’ve only felt good about our weight for “5 minutes of our lives” in total. Finally, they answer some challenging Thanksgiving ‘Would You Rathers’ and debate the big questions: Is turkey the worst thanksgiving food? Should raisins ever be found in stuffing? And how do I get out of sitting next to my nosy aunt this year?
