Do you feel like you need to reset your diet every week?
Before you reset your diet yet again for another week, here are some things that you might want to consider.
During the week do you:
Feel you need to excessively exercise to make up for the weekend
Check your weight on a Monday morning and feel you’ve fu**ed it
Starve yourself all week so you can lose the weight you put on at the weekend
Finally, get back to where you were by the end of the week
Just to go out at the weekend and do it all again.
If you are going into this week with the mindset of needing to make up for your weekend or starve yourself all week because you are going out this weekend then you need to
STOP
This mentality doesn’t help long term, and it’s why you aren’t making progress.
Here are some things you can do to have a better relationship with food and still enjoy the weekend:
- eat a higher protein diet to keep you fuller for longer throughout the week
Set yourself a plan for the week, what days are you going to go to the gym, what are you having for your meals this week
You can also save 100-200 calories each day to use them at the weekend. Don’t try and restrict down to 800 calories a day as this is not achievable long term.
Go into the weekend knowing how many calories you have to enjoy your weekend (200cals a day - 1000 extra calories over the weekend)
