One of the challenges of weight loss is navigating social situations and events and not allowing them to sabotage your progress. First, one indulgent meal is not going to erase a week of consistently following your plan, but the more we veer off our plan the less weight we will lose. If you want to lose weight you are going to have to limit those indulgences, and here are a few tips:
- Pre-decide what you will eat and what you won’t—and stick to it.
- Don’t attend events overly hungry; have a high-protein snack beforehand.
- Choose the healthiest options available, prioritizing protein, vegetables, fruits, and whole foods.
- Avoid mindless grazing by asking yourself questions like, “Do I really want this?” and “Is this worth it?”
