This time of year it’s not impossible to keep your weight in check and actually lose a few extra pound before New Years. It’s all in how you go into the holidays that helps give you a good outcome. If you go in thinking that it’s going to make you lose control of your diet then that’s exactly what’s going to happen.
It doesn’t have to be that way. In fact it can be the exact opposite if you just put a little thought into it. What do we mean by a little thought? For starters if you know that you’re going to have a day of binging, then give yourself permission to go that route. However, you’d better darned well get back on track the next morning by starting off with a good breakfast and getting your pattern back on track.
If you know that tonight is the holiday party, then make sure that you take extra special notice of how you decide to eat that morning. Keeping it all in a good balance is the key. Strangely enough your body functions in cycles. When you really watch your diet and are getting five small meals a day (not snacks), getting plenty of hydration, and getting a little movement, you can go out an binge for 24 hours or better yet a night or afternoon and stay right on track.
Binging for a day actually shocks your body into thinking that it doesn’t need to go into starvation mode and then you can keep the fat burning going. So even through you don’t want to stuff yourself regularly, if you do three or four whole days a month during the holidays, then it should hurt you losing those pounds right on track with your goals.
