The holiday season is upon us again, and if you’re new to a low carb or paleo diet this can be a challenging time. Especially when the extended family gets together for Thanksgiving.

Carolyn at All Day I Dream About Food compiled a great collection of low-carb, gluten-free Thanksgiving recipes to help you stay healthy through the holiday season:

Then you spend the next few days beating yourself up and wondering if you can get back on track after such a binge. But this slightly-exaggerated scenario doesn’t have to be a reality. The truth is that there are many wonderful low-carb options for Thanksgiving and other holidays that can keep you from giving  into temptation without feeling deprived. You can eat to your heart’s content and even indulge in a few of your favourites, all while sticking to your low carb, gluten-free diet.  It is possible, trust me.  Because I have spent the past few years perfecting the art of the low-carb holiday dinner.  Many other great bloggers have as well.  So I have collected the best low carb Thanksgiving recipes here for you to plan your holiday menu.
