Tom will be enjoying his Thanksgiving meal just like the rest of us.
"That's the one meal where I'm like, screw it, let's go for it," he says. "And we all get to enjoy it."
But longtime coach and co-founder of TB12, Alex Guerrero, says that Tom will be eating what you'd expect: Local, free-range turkey without antibiotics; organic vegetables like sweet potatoes, kale, and squash; organic berries and other fruits; fresh herbs; and—of course—plenty of water with electrolytes.
Moderation—a core principle in the TB12 approach—will also be a part of the Brady Thanksgiving Day picture.
TB12 Moderation & Grandma's Biscuits
Everything in moderation, they say. For example, Tom will still keep family tradition alive by baking biscuits using his late grandmother's recipe.
"As a young boy, my favorite part of every holiday was eating my Grandma's biscuits," Tom posted on social media. "The first question I would ask when I walked into her apartment was 'Grandma, did you make biscuits for me?'… And of course, she always did. My biscuits don't taste nearly as good as hers but after being smothered in butter and syrup, it's tough to know the difference,"
In keeping with the TB12 belief in real, whole foods, Alex notes that Tom bakes these biscuits from scratch.
To sum up the TB12 nutritional approach to Thanksgiving, Alex says: "There will be pie on the Thanksgiving day table at Tom's. It just won't be out of a box."
