"Did I eat too much over the weekend?" If your diet is ruined, how to get back on track

Because we both work full-time...

I often end up eating out or ordering delivery food on weekends...

Now that I think about it, there are quite a few unhealthy diets...

Even on weekdays, I need to be careful and take good care.

Prepare meals and snacks in advance

Drink plenty of water and eat more fiber.

If you relax comfortably over the weekend, your usual healthy eating habits may break down. If you have appointments or gatherings, it becomes even easier to pay attention to the types and amounts of food. After spending the weekend this way, you might feel guilty, but with just a little effort, returning to your original healthy habits is not that difficult. I have summarized some tips introduced by the American health information media 'Eat This, Not That' to help you get back to a healthy lifestyle after a relaxed weekend.

Preparing meals and snacks in advance = When you're hungry, it's not easy to quickly decide what to eat, and you might end up reaching for quick, convenient foods that aren't necessarily healthy. To prepare for such times, planning and preparing a few meals in advance can reduce the stress of deciding what to eat and help you maintain a healthy diet.

It is also good to prepare easy-to-make, balanced snacks in advance for when you feel hungry. If you take a little time to peel and cut fruits beforehand or put fruits into yogurt and store them in a container, you can resist the temptation to reach for quick-frozen foods or other fast foods when craving a snack.

Drink enough water and eat more fiber = First thing in the morning, before reaching for coffee, drink a glass of water. This replenishes the body's hydration that was depleted overnight. Don't forget to bring a water bottle when going out. Keeping water nearby can reduce the likelihood of choosing less healthy beverages like soda.

If you ate a lot of greasy food over the weekend, it is also a good idea to pay special attention to eating foods rich in fiber. Doing so helps restore normal digestive function and maintain a feeling of fullness.

Move a little more and sleep well = Going outside to get some sunlight, breathe fresh air, and take a walk is also good. While walking, you can release the stress accumulated over the weekend and relax.

Getting enough sleep is also important. Quality sleep not only improves mood and reduces stress but also helps prevent falling into unhealthy eating habits. When you don't sleep well, the body's natural signals of hunger can become confused, making it difficult to maintain a balanced diet.

Being kind to oneself = ultimately, being forgiving to oneself. Instead of blaming yourself for binge eating on the weekend or consuming high-calorie foods, it is wiser to focus on making positive changes moving forward. Comfort yourself and refocus on your goals.
