Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We spent time in East Hampton, New York with my parents and cooked up a storm. I made delicious Brussels sprouts and sweet potato French fries, and my mom (as usual) made the mouth-watering turkey, sweet potato pie, and my all-time favorite dish, stuffing! We ended the meal with some cookies our sons baked with BB (that's what they call my mom) and cheesecake, my older son Spencer's favorite dessert. YUM!

Fortunately, despite all the eating, we were all active this weekend--my boys played lots of backyard basketball (I would have joined but still have a bum wrist!), and I power walked every day and did some lower body weight training. All in all, it was a mellow, restful, mostly work-free weekend that we all enjoyed. I hope you all had the same with your loved ones!

In this week's ZIED GUIDE™, you'll find my "Brain Diet" segment that appeared on Fox TV (Wild Bill was the host, and though he mispronounced my name, it was a fun segment to do). You'll also learn how to overcome (or at least manage) your junk food habit, and find out my thoughts on whether specific foods can really help you blast belly fat in my new GALTime video.

Feel free to pass this on to others, or ask them to sign up at www.elisazied.com (on the right side of the home page).
And stay tuned for my special December giveaway--details in next week's newsletter, so you won't want to miss it! Have a great week.
