We all do it from time to time and that is take time away from our diets to enjoy life for temporary enjoyment, whether that be a vacation or maybe a family get together, Comprising a diet that allows for enjoyment day in and day out is what should be practiced, but enjoyment comes from the worry behind the caloric content of food items. Not worrying about the caloric content and indulging in a dish like the average person is what some consider a break; however i bet more than anything that mid way thru, you'll get mixed emotions about what your consuming and stop once your content. This is when I like to tell my clients and friends that the lifestyl3 adjustment is real.
I recently just came back from a week long vacation in Gulf Shores Alabama and enjoyed every minute of it. Did I go off my diet? Yes. Did i overindulge some days? Yes. Did I still follow my diet? Yes. How did I accomplish all of these? Well its simple, I allowed myself a few cheats here and there however at the begging of the trip I still purchased and consumed the same grocery items I would if I were at home. I love what I eat day after day and usually would opt for my own cooking opposed to picking up fast food or even cooking a frozen pizza. Yes i did indulge some days on foods I rarely eat, however i program this into my diet as a diet break and have learned how my body reacts. I consumed an all you can eat cat fish one night following a breakfast buffet later in the week. I was so overstuffed that I was uncomfortable and again hit with realization that consuming a large of amount of shitty food as such leads to a very uncomfortable bloat feeling for the rest of the day. Learn your body and realize what contributes to uncomfortable feelings and know when enough is enough.
Following a slightly higher macro nutrient diet and allowing for a diet break resulted in a WEIGHT LOSS over my vacaion. Thats right! I actually came back lighter than when I left and thats because iv been able to experiment over the years how far I can push my body and still see results. Lesson of the day? LEARN YOUR BODY
