Everyone has a weekend of eating that they regret. There\u2019s no reason to view yourself as a failure, but it\u2019s very easy to view yourself in that negative life. You may even wake up feeling guilty about everything you ate and drank. Don\u2019t beat yourself up for succumbing to the temptation of unhealthy foods because there are easy ways to get your health back on track. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weekends, especially holiday weekends, are notorious for relaxing diets. Whether it\u2019s a potluck party, backyard barbecue, Saturday night drinks, or Sunday brunch, the calories tally up quickly. Not to mention, it\u2019s difficult to stick to your diet in these circumstances, so you abandon ship and join in the consumption. This excess comes in the form of unhealthy carbs, salt, sugars, and fats. This leaves you feeling tired, guilty, hungry, and bloated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So how do you find your balance again? If the weekend threw you for a spin and you let yourself go, use the following tips to help you recover. You\u2019ll be feeling like your best self in no time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let It Go<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After falling off your diet, the first rule of thumb is to leave it in the past. You cannot change the past, but hopefully you learned your lesson. How did all of that binge eating make you feel? Not good, right? That\u2019s perfectly acceptable, but just acknowledge your mistakes and get back on the horse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t Skip Breakfast<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While it may seem like a good idea to skip breakfast after an unhealthy weekend, it\u2019s actually a horrible dietary mistake. Dietitians advise against skipping the first meal of the day because skipping a meal can slow the metabolism<\/a>. This leaves you feeling bloated and unhealthy, and you may retain fat or fluid as a result. Instead, opt for a lighter breakfast like a fruit and vegetable smoothie, oatmeal, or chia pudding to start your day. Good fuel is better than no fuel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drink That Water<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When your diet gets away from you, so do your healthy hydration habits<\/a>. Additionally, most people forget to drink enough water in unhealthy situations because they are focused on consuming or drinking other things. After an indulgent weekend, drink a tall glass of water as soon as you wake up. The body needs water to move waste through the digestive tract<\/a>, and it also helps to improve alkalinity and immune function. If you want to enhance the hydration and detox efforts, add a little lemon juice and apple cider vinegar to the water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add Some Fiber<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s no need to go out and purchase a fiber supplement or anything like that. The goal should be to consume whole foods that are naturally rich in fiber<\/a>. Focus on fresh fruits, vegetables, and complex carbohydrates from foods like sweet potatoes and quinoa. These foods help to move food through the digestive tract, which you desperately need after binge eating. Plus, fiber keeps you satiated between meals, helping you avoid unhealthy and unnecessary snacking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get Moving<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One workout isn\u2019t going to undo the damage of a bottle of wine, four slices of pizza, a bowl of buttery popcorn, and a burger. That\u2019s just a fact, but it\u2019s important to get your body moving again. When you slide right back into your regular workout routine, you\u2019ll be able to find that rhythm again. Regular exercise is what helps you stick to your goals and burn off excess calories. Consider engaging in a high intensity interval training session<\/a> to burn more calories on the first day back after the weekend. You\u2019ll be tired in the best way possible!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get Plenty Of Sleep<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

People think that they\u2019ll get more sleep on the weekend, but this may not always be the case. If it\u2019s a social weekend and you go out and indulge with food and drink, you may only sleep for a few hours. Additionally, the quality of sleep may not be that great because alcohol can easily disrupt sleep. One sleep study found that people who only got five hours of sleep ate more the following day. People who slept for seven to nine hours ate less. People who sleep well have better food restraint, which helps to decrease overall caloric intake. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t Get On The Scale<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The scale is not your friend after a weekend of unhealthy eating. It will most likely display a higher number than you are used to, but this is most likely because there is extra food sitting in the digestive tract. There\u2019s no reason to start your day with defeat. Instead, try to weigh yourself after you get back on track for a couple days. This will most likely result in the number you\u2019re used to seeing.<\/p>\n
