Here's FIVE great ways to enjoy the Super Bowl party this Sunday without that guilty feeling & extra body fat Monday morning.
•Use a SMALL plate. Less space on the plate = smaller portions = less calories, fat, sugar, sodium, etc., = clothes being less tight next week.
•Space out your alcoholic drinks with a water in between each one. That way you're not consuming too many calories at once, and so you're not "that guy/gal" who gets "waste-y pants" at the party.
•Do NOT starve yourself before the game because you plan on "saving those calories" for the party. Starving yourself at any time makes your body hold onto your body fat, stores everything you finally do consume as body fat (future energy), and begins to consume (catabolize) your muscle tissue for fuel.
•If you do pig out, make sure to eat something SMALL every three hours after to keep your metabolism fast. Worse thing to do when you have a huge meal is to then stop eating the rest of the day. Same reason as the starving yourself above.
•If you're hosting the party, stop by Trader Joe's or Whole Foods and grab some healthier alternatives to traditional party food like Trader Joe's potato chips, Applegate Farms lunch meat, etc. For example, Trader Joe's brand potato chips only have potatoes, sea salt, and safflower oil in them, that's it.
