What To Do The Morning After You Cheated On Your Diet

By: Debbie Sipe

OK so you didn't stick to your diet.

Everyone was having pizza and it just looked to good to pass up. So you ate not one like you told yourself you would do you ate 4, 5, or 6 pieces with all the toppings and extra cheese maybe?

And then there is the soda or beer to wash it down.

Don't forget the breadsticks dipped in that yummy sauce and what about those buffalo wings?

Well not the best decision but not the end of the world. So let go of the guilt and feeling as if you will never lose that weight and or stick to your diet.

There is good news and planning for your social times can make all the difference so as to not set yourself up for failure.

So let's go with the pizza scenario.

You plan on getting together with friends or family and you know there is going to be pizza and the whole enchilada.

Start your day with pineapple and in fact it is a good idea to just eat it all day up until 3 hours before you plan on having your pizza.

Best to have pineapple anytime you plan on having anything cheesy or greasy. Those enzymes are so important when you are eating all those foods your body has such a hard time digesting.

As we age we loose those enzymes so we need to help our bodies by eating enzymatic foods on a daily basis. It is best to limit these foods as much as possible and eat them in moderation.

If you don't you will gain weight and your body will suffer as a consequence. You can only get away with poor food choices for so long. But once in a while on occasion we know we are going to have a party and go overboard.

The days after eating your greasy, cheesy pizza have pineapple again for most of the day. The decision will be based on your weight gain.

If under 5 lbs eat pineapple most of the day and for dinner have an all protein meal or an all carbohydrate meal. So you could have steak and eggs or corn on cob, baked potato and salad but not both.

If you gained over 5 lbs you can eat the following foods for 1 to 4 days and then resume your diet. No matter how bad you blow it you can correct it within a short amount of time.

This does not mean you can just do this over and over. This hopefully should not happen more than once per month. So just eat 1 bite at a time and remember food is not leaving the planet and you can always eat in moderation and not gain any weight.

Day 1 Have pineapple and 2 hours later papaya and then two hours after you are finished with papaya have pineapple again. Remember of course to drink lots of water.

Day 2 Take the whole day and eat watermelon this will help to flush out the excess sodium your body is retaining.

Day 3 Start your day with dried prunes soaked the night before and 2 hours after you have finished eat strawberries. End your day with baked potatoes. You will clean out all of the excess food you ate so it will not be stored as fat.

Day 4 Grapes all day and you will get rid of any hidden sugars in the food you ate.

And if you are like me you will easily drop 5 lbs in 3 days and more by the 4th day.

So there you go all is well now. The next time you go out for a good time just remember you can enjoy every bite slowly and the food will be there for another day so moderation is the key and no weight gain is the reward.
