What to do when you over do...

Not sure where I found this, but it looks like a good strategy for when you fall off the weightloss wagon.

I found this interesting. I am willing to try this as I have occasional (or constant) pig outs!

Hey,

You'll love this one, let me tell ya.

It's something every one of us can use.

It's tried and true... works every time to help offset any
"pig-outs" you may find yourself engaging in.

You know...

1. You're super-tired from work and that darn pizza flyer
was on the door...

2. You want to celebrate and you find yourself stuffing your face
with "happy food"...

3. You're bummed out and ice cream turns into your BFF...

Listen, I've been there... lots of times.

If you pig-out on food, you must do three things in order to make
sure that food doesn't head straight for where you store the most
bodyfat...

1. Sweat a bit

Do some light cardio, take a brisk walk, but MOVE. You have to move
within an hour or so otherwise all that salt will be retained in
your tissues and make you LOOK fatter than you actually are. I hate
that look on me!

2. Protein and Produce

For the rest of the day, consume lean protein foods and produce
(primarily green veggies.) This not only lowers overall calories,
it lowers your insulin response.

Insulin is secreted in large amounts when you over-eat or eat too
many carbs. That's what you usually do during a pig-out. Most people
don't pig-out on steak.

Not only that, but protein foods are "thermogenic"... meaning they
help increase your body's core temperature and help you burn off
more calories than any other nutrient.

Cool, right?

3. Repeat the Next Day

... The protein and produce, that is.

Most of your foods the next day should be lean protein and
produce, only this time you can include some low-sugar
fruits along with the veggies. Salads are great too.

Stick to this system and you can cheat on your diet plan without
wrecking your waistline.
