Intense interval training has been shown to raise your base metabolic rate for up to 38 hours after a workout. This phenomenon is known as EPOC or excess post-exercise oxygen consumption. This means that the fat burning continues long after the actual training session is finished. To this end you should seriously think about doing a hard work-out a few hours before your Thanksgiving feast. The same goes for Christmas day and New Year's Day (or Eve).
Even if it is a 20 min body-weight circuit or swings, snatches and deadlifts. Do something to get your body moving before you eat and it will help minimize the damage you are doing to your fat loss goals.
