Here’s the truth about weekends…
It’s where you’re most likely to lose all the progress you made during the week - it’s also where most of those sneaky pounds love to creep up on you over time.
If you’re in a fat loss phase, here’s 3 things you’re gonna want to do this weekend.
Ditch The Booze
🍷As we get older our liver has a harder time detoxifying alcohol.
🍷Especially women over 40 - you’re probably experiencing more hangovers and feeling like total crap the next day - Am I right?!?!
🍷Plus alcohol contains empty calories. It not only disrupts your sleep but also increases your appetite and stalls fat loss by prioritizing the metabolism of alcohol over fat.
Eat At Home
🥗Eating out is delicious and fun, but it poses a challenge when trying to lose weight.
🥗You’ll never know for sure how many calories you’re actually eating when you’re not making your own food.
🥗If fat loss is truly your goal, you’re gonna want to limit eating out - especially if you’re pushing for an upcoming event.
Eat Your Protein
🥩Ideally 25-35 grams of protein in each meal.
🥩Protein is your most satisfying macronutrient.
🥩When you eat adequate amounts of protein, you have less cravings, improved mood and gain/retain lean muscle.
You don’t have to do these things forever.
But if your true goal is fat loss, ask yourself - do you honestly believe eating out & drinking are helping you reach that goal.
I know the fitness industry loves to talk about how you can lose weight and keep your favorite foods - this is true - how often you eat them depends.
It’s also true that dieting, cutting (whatever you want to call it) requires a temporary sacrifice of some sort.
There’s always nuance
