November 26, 2009Don’t be sad if you have cheated on your diet plan. Be glad about the wonderful time you’ve spent with your family. At this moment your goal should be to reduce “the damage.” Is there a fast way to do it?
You have to control your cravings and resist other temptations. You see at work a colleague eating something yummy, but full of calories? Well, you must resist! You had your share of “cake.” Now it’s time to eat healthy again. Repeat after me: “I can do it! I can do it! I don’t even want to eat that.”
Stay firm! Skip the snacks, cut the high-calorie sodas. Replace them with water and low calorie beverages. Desserts can stay between you and your weight loss goals too – eliminate them. Stress may appear, so try to walk as much as you can. This should keep you busy from thinking about food, plus you will build healthy muscle and replace fat. Maybe thinking about Christmas spirit and gifts will motivate you.
Enough talking, what are you going to eat now? Well, here’s a table that should help you out:
| Breakfast | Lunch & Dinner |
| A bowl of cereals | A bowl of soup and crackers |
| An English muffin and fruits | A veggie sandwich and light chips |
| Egg and toast | Fruits |
| 1 cup of skim milk | 1 cup of skim milk |
| Half of bagel and a smear of cream cheese |
|
Usually the weight gain takes a few days to show itself, so you should aim for the weight that you had before Thanksgiving Day, otherwise you might end up losing weight more than you want. Good luck and stay healthy!
