I think we are all guilty of doing this at some point. Heck, I over ate this past weekend. And yes, I don't like over eating but I am moving on and looking forward. And that is just what you need to do....move on and look forward. Eat regular size meals and snacks the next day. Stick to whole foods like fruit, lean meat, and lots of veggies. Don't starve yourself, you will mess up your metabolism and make things worse. Drink water and go for a walk or do some type of exercise. You will feel much much better!
So we are not perfect robots. You will over eat; especially on Holiday weekends like this coming weekend. Maybe you won't over eat this weekend? But the temptation will be there. So, be smart about it primarily on portion control.
Here are some quick tips:
- try to only have one helping, don't go up for seconds....wait 15 minutes first
- have a protein snack before you go to the party, it will help you not to over eat
- stay active and drink plenty of water. Sometimes when you are dehydrated your body will tell you that you are hungry when you really aren't. Tricky.
- Try not to graze all day....keep a water in your hand and chew some gum. Play a game with the kids or something. Or if you want to graze choose veggies and fruit.
You won't look weird going up for one helping or eating veggies, you will look smart and attractive....that's right I said attractive. If you demonstrate to others that you care about what you put in your body then you will glow with confidence. There have been studies about this! It's true. Test it, I dare you!
Have fun, don't stress about it. You will do good. At least you are already aware of over eating and that deserves a "good job!".Visit our website and web store for more tips and smart snack products. www.shop.snacksmarts.com
