We are hitting a weekend already and while all of us will look forward to it, the dangers for body fat gain are always the highest for the next three days.
Most people associate the weekend, Friday, Saturday and Sunday with eating basically anything they want, and more than their fair share of alcohol consumption.
If you do this for three days over the weekend, then NO MATTER WHAT and this is a certainty, you will not lose body fat and it doesn’t matter what you have in the week in terms of exercise or how well you have eaten!
If you take this as a rule, you will start eating and drinking a little smarter.
Make it one day, rather than three days. Make it one day a week you drink alcohol, and when you do drink, the very next morning before breakfast, try and get some sort of exercise session in that gets you a little hot and sweaty, and a bit out of puff, in other words put some effort in!
No need to overdo it, but always try and exercise with purpose rather than going through the motions.
If you’re having your treats, and most people at some time DO during the weekend, try and make them less full of saturated fat and less full of sugar!
If you’re having indian food, try and select the dry dishes, rather than the ones smothered with cream and sauce. Select boiled rice rather than fried. This will help you a lot.
Chinese food is usually fried but you can select boiled versions like the indian examples I gave.
When you have fast food, you don’t need chips on top of it too! You don’t need the 1000 calorie milk shakes, you don’t need all the extra trimmings on ANY fast food.
Try making pizza yourself, have far less cheese, put on healthy tomatoes and vegetables, have a healthier thin base.
There’s a million ways to get your treats down in all those harmful fats, and dangerous sugars that if taken for long enough, will sure make you diabetic.
Making the right choices have never been more important!
