Overcome the habit of weekend overindulgence by starting your day out right.
- Eat a healthy and nutritious breakfast. Chew your food slowly.
- It takes 15-20 minutes for your brain to signal your stomach that it’s full, so take your time.
- Always keep an eye out for portion sizes, especially when it comes to desserts.
- Drink water rather than sugary drinks.
- Avoid drinking your calories! Soda is not only high in calories, but it’s also high in fructose, which stimulates the appetite.
- Try to get in as much exercise as you can over the weekend. Walking, jogging, cleaning the house, dancing or a simple housework routine will all help you burn off those extra calories.
“…the experts say, the best way to keep the weekends from torpedoing your diet is to take a common sense approach to nutrition — every day of the week.”
