Balance Dinner Parties And Weight Loss Without Guilt
July 30, 2007
Going out for dinners and grand parties are a lot of fun. Spending time with loved ones, meeting new people or getting into a beautiful evening dress and making heads turn can really spice up your life.
Usually big events like a reunion, wedding or some big soiree, guests are intimated in advance. You plan the right clothes, schedule your appointments accordingly and then starve yourself. At the event, you will be eating a variety of high calorie foods and drinks so it is a general feeling that such a strict starvation will help manage weight. But this is absolutely wrong.
Starving all day only triggers a big glutton fest at night. Being hungry all day makes the blood sugar level fall rapidly and by dinner, you are famished. So it is very easy to over indulge with whatever food you see around. Such crash dieting only slows down the metabolism.
Here are some pointers to balance dinner parties and manage weight loss without any guilt.
1) Never skip breakfast.
2) Eat small meals throughout the day. Every four to five hours is ideal so that you won’t binge later.
3) If you did over indulge at the party, then don’t starve yourself the following day. Instead drink plenty of water, juices and eat fibre rich food so that the system gets flushed. Certain foods can make you feel bloated and heavy so this is an ideal way to cleanse the body internally.
4) Excessive exercising after over eating should be avoided. It will only add strain on the body. Just workout at your usual tempo and maybe an extra fifteen minutes of cardiovascular exercise can help.
Indulging in the good life is wonderful but making the body suffer is not the ideal way to live your life. So the next time, you are invited to a grand celebration keep these pointers in mind and eat your heart out, guilt free.
