What’s more, high-protein meals as well as high-carbohydrate meals cause many people to feel sleepy, and Thanksgiving dinner typically is both high-protein and high-carb....

Cut a hole in the top of each pumpkin slightly smaller than the base of the pumpkin that will sit on top of it. Stack the pumpkins with tops off to test their fit. If needed, carve larger openings, so the pumpkins nestle slightly into one another....

While most people believe they get enough fiber, more than 90 percent of women and 97 percent of men fall short of these recommendations, largely due to the overconsumption of processed foods and drinks, which have been stripped of their fiber (and much of their nutrient value)....
