Weight loss and the Super Bowl

Some might think that weight loss and the Super Bowl do not mix. And usually, you would be right. Anyone who’s been on a diet knows that days like Super Bowl Sunday are pig-out heaven - especially if you or someone in your household is throwing a Super Bowl Party.

But it doesn’t have to be that way.

On my plan, I give myself 2 “cheat meals” per week. Those cheat meals are where I can eat anything I want to. And it works great! Because I get to eat foods I enjoy, it helps stop cravings (which are the #1 reason people fail when dieting) and because it helps keep my metabolism in check.

So tomorrow is no big deal around our house. We’re having pizza, chips and dip, and maybe even a little soda or candy. It won’t blow my diet - namely because I’m not on one! But mostly because it’s scheduled right into my plan and menu for the week.
