Recover From Easter Binge
Easter is now a distant memory.
But the loads of Easter eggs, chocolate bunnies and hot cross buns you ate are not. And neither are the few pounds you picked up as a result or the leftover Easter eggs.
And although Easter is over, your bad eating habits may not be and you may struggle to lose that weight. But you can recover from your Easter binge and start eating right and losing weight - here's how:
* Make your meals lighter - To balance out the calories I suggest that you eat lighter meals - salads for lunch and lots of veggies and salads for dinner. Try to make your diet menu plan lighter by having lean protein, whole-grain carbs and lots of fruits and veggies.
* Stay away from your scale - Don't weigh yourself; it's bound to make you depressed. Don't go according to a number, rather take your measurements regularly and use that as a guide.
* Avoid fad diets - Fad diets will only make you pick up weight in the long run as it slows down your metabolism.
* Start exercising regularly again - Regular exercise is very important for weight maintenance. Join a gym or buy your own home fitness treadmills. If you need to lose weight after Easter, I recommend that you exercise at least for 4 days a week.
* Get additional exercise in - Make sure that you get as much exercise in as possible by taking the stairs instead of the lift and by walking your dog.
* Eat foods that keep you fuller for longer - Foods that keep you fuller for longer will help you to eat less. These include low GI foods, healthy fats and fiber.
* Vow to never go overboard again - Remind yourself how difficult it is to lose that Easter pounds and vow to never go overboard again.
These tips are sure to make you forget about the side effects of the Easter weekend. Just implement them and you will feel lighter already.
