There are several ways to ward-off the temptation to binge. While
certain diet recommendations may seem unorthodox, they have been
found to be true. Use these tips to fend off, a dieting trauma.
Snack up
at 3 PM. What you eat at three o’clock in the afternoon can
save you the merely 400 calories later. Regardless of how hungry
you are not during the midday, make sure you snack up on a nutritionally
packed treat between 150 and 170 calories (wheat crackers and
low fat peanut butter, a slice of cheese, an apple, et cetera).
Lug a knife.
If you must eat at a fast food restaurant, make sure you have
a knife on hand to cut your sandwich in half. You can also,
skim off any extra mayonnaise, excess cream cheese or whatever
calorie bearing condiment is slathered on the bread. Lugging
a plastic or regular steak knife means that you can literally
shave of your caloric intake.
Guzzle
up on the fluids. Parties are weak spots for everyone. The easiest
way to keep food out of your mouth is by keeping a cold one
in your hand and avoiding the temptation table. As far as your
beverage choice, try water, diet sodas with rum, or drink a
single Guinness beer. It will make you feel a sense of being
full.
Become
manic. When you’re not socializing, stay busy to avoid the urge
to nibble, snack or graze. Instead of heading for the kitchen
for a bowl of ice cream, work on your woodwork, organize a closet,
or do some exercise to take up your time. |
