Does this sound familiar? “I eat well during the week, but on the weekends my diet seems to fall apart.” Surviving the weekend eating challenge is key to achieving your fitness and physique goals. People often find it easier to stick to a healthy eating regimen during the week, as the days are pretty well structured and we are occupied by the daily duties of life and work. But the free form nature and periods of idle time present during the weekend offers the opportunity for people to stray from the healthy nutrition track. In many ways it seems odd that this phenomenon occurs considering that it would seem that we would actually have more time to focus on our eating.
Sleeping in and lounging around the house can lead to overeating and bad snacking. As with everything else in life, weekend eating is all about conditioning and the development of healthy eating behaviors. Whereas a bowl of oatmeal with almonds and a small glass of juice may suffice during the week, many automatically switch into pancakes, sausage, eggs, bacon, syrup, butter mode.
To beat the temptation of “weekend food disasters, remember to make a plan. Planned eating does not allow for much deviation. Also, do not allow events (parties, dancing, movie, going, etc) to dictate your eating. Remember to indulge in moderation. And last, make the best choices from the foods that are available. When eating out remember your healthy food principles, and stick with water instead of a soda.
