[watchfuleye2008]

Greg!!!....This was a blessing!!! Im not close to scheduled deviation yet, but I hear ya!!!

[alycat25]

Brilliant advice that I'm going to use to my advantage when dealing with my addiction/binge eating.

[workitjackie3]

[lizvg1]

Best WLL vid in a while. thanks

[weightlosslosers]

What a great video! YES! I'm glad you finally went over this in detail - and on the WLL no less :D

<3 Shanti

[Kat71]

Great video! great tips! Thanks Greg!

[MisNatt85]

and DOWN WITH TOXIC GUILT ABOUT HOLIDAY EATING! <3

[MisNatt85]

love this video. great job

[FrogsRFriendsNotFood]

you could hire a girlfriend for thanksgiving lol, thanksgiving i love to cook not so much into eating now.. lol im odd

[rachellefromcali]

ur nice... shanti missed out ;-(

[lifewithjades]

Greg, after your scheduled deviations do you have cravings- or does keeping the deviation to 1 hour help combat those addictions? Gracias amgio

[thesiegster]

no addictions. That is the whole reason behind the one meal.

[dondons1987]

wow its Greggers, I was away for a while what happened to Daniel?

[junglebeauty41]

love you very funny

[falconandthemoon]

I just wanted to mention that scheduled deviations can also be helpful to folks for whom weight loss is a metabolic issue as well and not just for "food addicts". According to the experts, having one or two "cheat' meals a week can help boost your metabolism and keep it from slowing down as the metabolism does when you diet. Some food for thought!

[strengthwithin82]

Thank you Greg. I really am going to give scheluled deviations a try sounds brilliant.

[erikka1212]

Loved this video! That's exactly how I view Thanksgiving....not something that's going to derail me or throw me off plan, just a day where i probably eat more than usual.

[falconandthemoon]

Hi Greg - nice vid, scheduled deviations are a major cornerstone of my weight loss/ weight management philosophy for sure.

[Mumzeeee]

I SO understand... I actually use Thanksgiving as a GORGING day on my PLAN... I am on hCG... so Thanksgiving Rocks for ME!!! :)

[ceramicheart150]

I love the jewish accent, they always nag don't they! Great video Greg, very informative! Hmm never thought of just "eat whatever!" like that! I like when you get really sassy and yell, ok not so much yell but cope the 'tude ;)

[ennylsun]

You are so inspirational and such a motiviation, I love your perspective on Thanksgiving!

[simplystrick]

so glad to see Greg's perspective on this topic! thanks for sharing!

[120togo]

Greg- I love your attitude! You just amaze me! I cannot believe how much weight you have lost. Thanks for the tips. I really wish I had the same mindset as you! :D Write me a self-help book?

[maliayang]

great advice greg

[theallnaturalme]

This video made me think of all the people that whine and cry about how guilty they feel. "Oh, Greg, I messed up, what do I do?" Watch his other videos, geez! Whining and crying about one day, about one dinner is counterproductive.

After dinner, I'm going to run as far as I can without stopping, walk for five minutes, and then DO IT AGAIN because I KNOW I CAN! It's all mindset, it's all about the relationship you have with food. Great video, Greg. :)

[danceistheawesome87]

Greg, during your scheduled deviations do you still stay within your maintain calories or do you just eat whatever within that hour?

[thesiegster]

I don't count calories at all....but the deviation is unrestricted!! :)

[TheMountainsun]

Thanks for the carb tips Greg!

[jennycole2005]

loved your advice the most!

[Bonnie90505]

so true! Thanksgiving is part my plan too..wow a deviation day for the first time for me...yeah

One meal with all the high(man-made) carbs, no seconds...and then left overs will be low carb. and getting back into Ketotis will be exciting to see how long it takes me.

I have a plan beyond Thanksgiving. I start a walking regimen the next day and know that I planned ahead

I don't want the insulin spikes nor will I allow it!

also

[uklili13]

Love the "scheduled deviation". We know the holidays are coming so I plan on busting my butt until thanksgiving and then just... enjoy.

I HOPE to make some "healthier" sides but c'mon... its the holidays people!!! haha

Enjoy the day but then know you will be back on track ASAP.

[waywardgypsy]

I love that you said that you KNOW that Thanksgiving is coming months away... if you plan for it, it's not a "cheat", it's a scheduled deviation. LOVE LOVE LOVE that!

[Chemchoumi]

Love the tip and your energy!!

[msixpackabs]

Greg, correction:

She used beef meat not pork and she actually made mine with potatoes and beef meat only (no fats...you know I do not mix fats with carbs...potatoes carbs...the cheese would have been fats).

Unfortunately I did not know and ate out of the one with cheese. S**t. Just came back from the "fast walk" which was for an hour only because the wind f**ed up my umbrella (it's an annoying rain with small drops).

But now I will workout this beautiful body and I know I'll feel better.

[msixpackabs]

And why the hell am I telling you all these? I have no idea.

Oh and I know the answer to the happiness you showed in that video you were telling that whenever you feel angry or down you just workout.

It is the endorphins. I love them, I adore them and can't hardly wait to get them though before starting i feel like crying.

It's been no break since 1st of Nov, everything is in pain...my bod gives up on me..but hey...there will be better days.

Again, I don't know why I am telling all these to u!

[s2macdon]

Greggers, you're the man! Thanks for the constant motivation and presence/presents!!!

[SweetNSassy126]

LOL! That was so funny when you were talking about your LOVELY family. They sound fun, actually. :) Oh and Crown on the rocks! ;) Yum

[cashpath]

The scheduled deviations probably help even more with losing weight.

[sjconfessions]

love your energy!!! :)

[CilllaBella]

i wish i could download your will power and mind set (matrix style) into my brain!

[genuinelysarcastic]

This video is amazing! I keep hearing the words "scheduled deviation" all over this community and I just shrug my shoulders. Definitely understand the dual phase insulin release and glad that you're using science to maintain! Have a great Thanksgiving!

[msixpackabs]

cheese, a very fat cheese. This way she made a decent food a calories bomb.

I ate, now I will juuuust walk 2 hours plus my regular workout.

There are moments my wife turns me into a man with murderer thoughts.

[msixpackabs]

Oh yes, I know you said no more punishments but I need those 2 hours of fast walk, I need to know I did something about this shit, else, this day, this day's workout is nothing but a waste of time.

[msixpackabs]

So Corina, my wife sees me exercising the entire week, walking to and from walk place, grabbing my ipod and deciding to juuuust walk for an hour the days I did not "walk" to work place (my free days).

Today...Sunday...she decides to cook musaka (a fod made of potatoes and pork meat). I knew I will crave for some and asked her to make a diet version of it (meaning she just had to put the chopped pork meat and potatoes together and cook them). She did, but not before adding some Romanian pressed

[lifewithjades]

Greg, thank you for this video- it's exactly what I wanted to know! Funny, I just read about the biphase insulin release- had never heard about it before last week. I'm going to try this and see how the cravings/ addiction goes as this is my "issue". Again- thank you- great video! ML, Jades

[PinkRose0202]

lol...I know how you feel when it comes to your family asking about the woman thing...my family does the same with me and guys.

[shesakura]

that is pretty much what I do for holidays. I say I can have what I want but not all day not all week, and not all month. I think I only have a scheduled deviation when I know we are going for sushi... but I keep it in my calorie range :)

[MrsBrookaltimore]

That sounds like a great plan. Thanks for the tips!! Congrats on hitting and maintaining goal!

[x0alexis]

i love your game plan; all of you WLLs have had great advice this week. it's just hard because i'll be working and basically alone of the holiday so i have some planning to do.

i believe once i begin to look at food from a healthy perspective, those deviations will be necessary and be like my own little reward.

thanks for an awesome perspective greg.

have a good sunday.

[MarineShape]

Always some good wise knowledge from the Greggers!!!! You should wright some proverbs or something!

[14beads2goal]

Great vid Greg!! :o) Lot's of useful info!! MUAH!! XOXO
