| 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. |
