1. PROTEIN IN EVERY MEAL: - Ensuring there is protein in every meal will help to balance out any cravings you have and keep you feeling fuller after meals. - The more satiety you feel between meals will stop the feeling of wanting to snack and will help you keep your calories in check. - The higher protein meals will also give you better energy instead of that spike and crash feeling that comes with higher sugar and higher processed carb meals. - Feeling fresh and energised will help you feel better about getting up and moving as well as getting back into your usual routine.
2. KEEP YOUR WATER INTAKE UP - Particularly important if you had a few more drinks than usual! Dehydration can leave you feeling sluggish and tired which can then have you craving foods that will give that instant pick-up feeling. - Drinking plenty of water throughout the day will help with your energy levels and also help to flush out any remaining alcohol and/or sugar.
3. EXERCISE - The sooner you get back into your normal training routine, the better you will feel! It’s very easy to fall out of routine and justify pushing training to the following day but in reality the sooner you start back the stronger you will feel physically and mentally. - The release of endorphins after a training session will also boost your energy levels and you will feel happier.
4. THINK POSITIVELY - The worst thing you can do is feel guilty or upset with yourself. So what if you had extra dessert or more chocolate than you intended. Giving up or just continuing with bad food choices won’t get you anywhere and will leave you feeling worse. - The most important thing is to look at each day as a new day. Wipe the slate clean and get back on track with your food and your training. The sooner you get back into it, the easier it will get! Have a great day guys and lets get back to smashing out our goals!
