Researchers have estimated that the average person eats 500-1000 extra calories on weekend days…without even realizing it. Yikes!
Givin that we have a long holiday weekend coming, it pays to make a plan for getting through it without gaining weight:
-
Figure out what super-healthy breakfast you can eat (egg white omelet with veggies and salsa?) in anticipation of extra treats tempting you later in the day.
-
What healthy snacks can you bring with you to parties? Crudite and shrimp cocktail are perfect, easy options.
-
Should you eat a salad or an apple before going out?
-
Can you fit in an extra workout over the weekend? How about a few extra hours of sleep?
-
Remember the 3 Bite Rule: 90% of the pleasure of any food comes in the first 3 bites
Make your plan right now so you’ll have time to prepare. You’ll be glad you did! Happy Labor Day!
