Fortunately, you don't suddenly get fat from going out of your mind once with food and drink. And that's fine, because during the holidays you often do eat differently and more. So don't worry too much, but do try to stick to this (eating) rule.
Many dieters suffer from the thought "it doesn't matter now anyway," once they have violated the dietary rules.
Sabotaging thoughts
These are also called "sabotaging thoughts. And as soon as these thoughts enter your mind, you start eating mindlessly and too much. Therefore, try to scrutinize your thoughts: Okay, is this true? Does it indeed not matter now? You will see that by looking at your thoughts from a distance, you create space to think: Yes, I have now eaten a high-calorie meal, and I enjoyed it. So now I'll have coffee instead of a high-calorie dessert. We promise you: this is going to save you a lot of calories.
Offset
Another thing you can do is: compensate. Before or after the holidays, eat a little less for a few days and exercise a little more. This way you create balance in your overall diet. If you really can't manage to eat according to your own nutrition plan these two days, for example, because you're out a lot, swallow a No Regret. Zo kun je genieten van de feestdagen zonder al te veel aan te komen en zonder al te veel schuldgevoel. Fijne dagen! Foto: Toa Heftiba just before meals via Unsplash
