The Weekend or The Weak-end to Lose Weight
Another week is almost over so how has it been for you on your quest
to lose weight? Have you spent anytime planning for the weekend? It
is very easy for a weekend to become a weak-end if you don¡¦t plan
for it. When you know what you will be doing then you will be able
to plan what you can and can¡¦t eat.
If you know you will be going out to dinner, and be eating some
extra calories then cut back during the day. This will stop you
eating extra calories for that day. If you have a problem with the
main course because it is too large then ask if you can have two
starters. If they won¡¦t give two starters then share one with a
friend or partner. Be wise in your choice of main course, and skip
the bread roll and butter to save on some calories as well. Share a
dessert, you will find that is sufficient to deal with your sweet
tooth without compromising your calorie intake.
Eat a light lunch if you are going out. Have a baked potato without
butter especially if you have a filling with the potato. You will
have no idea it isn¡¦t included because it does nothing to the
flavour just adds more calories. Sandwiches again go light on the
butter and choose a sensible filling, rather than one loaded with
fat and empty calories.
If you
plan wisely then you might find
that you have slightly overeaten as far as counting calories goes,
but it is better to be 100 calories over the
amount you need rather than 1,000
calories over which a lot of people will be. Take time to plan and
your weekend won¡¦t turn into a weak-end and leave you depressed for
the rest of the week when you eat to ease your depression.
To lose weight is easier sad
than done. It involves a lot of determination on your part. Even
once you have lost weight, you have to take effective steps to
maintain it.
