Tips to Prevent Weight Gain Over The Weekend
Getting to Monday in shape after the weekend can be a difficult challenge for those trying to control their weight, which is that Saturday and Sunday and even on Friday (Saturday small for many), there are many temptations, invitations and excuse to abandon the diet, which can throw away what you’ve won with effort during the week.
But … how can we not gain the weekend? There are some tips that can help you get in shape on Monday, without having to abstain from enjoy during the weekend.
If you plan to attend a party …
• Agenda at least one long workout or intense (or both) by the end of the week. This will help to offset the extra calories they consume during the weekend.
• Rest your typical exercise routine and try other options such as cross country or a dance class. By placing the demand in different muscles, burn more fat. Instead of your typical session on the elliptical, swim, play basketball or football.
• Try to maintain a healthy breakfast on weekends, but you get up later. This will speed up your metabolism. Remember that success in weight control is closely linked to a good breakfast.
If you plan to stay home and relax …
• Weigh yourself on Saturday morning and planned to do so again on Monday. Some research suggests that those who are weighed, have better weight control.
• Restrict or replace the snacks for healthy snacks like fruits, almonds and corn flakes.
• Try foods that remain in the kitchen, as if in front of you, safe to eat more.
If your plan is to go to a bar …
• Do a full stomach. If you go without eating, your food choices are poor and there will be more chance of eating junk food.
• Alcoholic beverages have calories, perhaps the best options are the wine or beer.
• Budget: put a limit before the night begins. Then alternate the drinks you consume with soda or mineral water. Drink less alcohol and do not go so far from your goals.
• Lack of sleep can wreak havoc on your metabolism and cause you to eat more, especially after a night when you drank. Rest.
If you plan to eat out …
• Do not waste your calories. To save you eat foods that do not often or never tried at home.
• Drink with dinner, not before. A drink before meals, stimulates appetite and predisposes you to eat things that really do not want.
