RIO Fitness Chicago® Tip:

With days like yesterday and whenever we overeat, most people think to not eat the rest of the day. That's the worst thing we can do. The body can only take in approx 500cal at one time before it starts storing the rest as body fat; so then if we don't eat the rest of the day, we slow down our metabolism even more which will store more body fat. Best thing to do, is to have another SMALL snack (plain Greek yogurt mixed with fresh fruit, 2tbsp of low cal  PB with an apple, a banana, or hummus with fresh veggies, etc) every three hours after that huge meal to keep our metabolism fast so that we don't keep storing more body fat.
