What To Do If You Eat Crappy…

May 20, 2009 · Filed Under Main Content 

Memorial Weekend is coming up pretty quickly and my guess is that unless you have incredible willpower, you’re probably going to end up eating worse than you normally do.

After all, who can say no to a few drinks and some hot dogs and hamburgers while hanging out with your friends and family on Memorial Day?

So what do you do since you’re going to eat more calories?

It’s easy, you compensate for it either before or after!

For example, maybe this weekend you don’t go out to eat. Or you lay off a few beers and save them for Memorial Day.

Or Tuesday, you fast for 24 hours. Or you throw in an extra 20 minutes of cardio for the next few days. Or you eat very lightly before and after your “big” meal on Memorial Day.

It doesn’t have to be that hard. It all comes down to planning. If you plan ahead, you won’t gain an ounce even though you’ll be eating worse on Memorial Day.

It’s the people who don’t plan that end up gaining “holiday weight” – which then never seems to come off their bodies.

So instead of just going into this weekend not even thinking about the added calories on Memorial Day, start planning to either eat a little less or workout a little more to compensate for it – and don’t worry as much about how much you eat and drink on Memorial Day.
