The problem with that strategy is that you will slow down your metabolism by dieting before Thanksgiving. There's nothing wrong with a slow metabolism per se, it's actually a good thing. But then when you consume a large amount of calories on Thanksgiving, your body, thinking that it's starving, will soak it up and convert it to fat more quickly than it would otherwise.
This is my situation: I'm at my ideal weight with a slow metabolism. It's a good thing for one's health but only if it's practiced consistently.

Tell that to James Gandolfini. If he was at home no one would have known how much he ate before he died. But he was in a hotel, getting room service.
Everything he ordered was listed on his bill. Doctors evaluated it and said that, without a doubt, his excessive intake of food triggered his heart attack.
