Guide To Staying On Track This Long Weekend

We understand that Easter celebrations can be difficult to navigate with the temptation of chocolate, hot cross buns and managing friends and family expectations.

Instead of having a blowout and sinking into a post-long weekend frenzy of guilt, we’ve put together some tips for staying on track. 

Prioritise protein

Protein keeps you fuller for longer and studies have shown that increasing your protein volume by 15% can reduce calorie intake by 441. You can read more about increasing your protein intake here.

Avoid meaningless snacking

This doesn’t mean don’t enjoy yourself! But instead, be more conscious of what you’re eating and how much. Very quickly one Easter Egg can turn into 15.

Drink water

Are you hungry or have you just forgotten to drink water? Sipping on water not only lowers cravings but helps hydrate the body and helps with recovery after having a few too many drinks.

Drink smarter

Having a few cold ones this weekend with friends and family is A-OK to relax and enjoy your time off. Sometimes a simple swap can pay dividends long term, such as a low-calorie beer or swap your usual mixer for soda water.

Use these helpful hacks to enjoy your weekend but stay on track with your weight loss goals. But remember you’ve been putting in the work, so allow yourself a treat or two!
