So I have just read the above article in the Daily Mail and I have a one word response... REALLY?!
Please tell me people don't actually have room in their tummy for all this food! I think it is true that a lot of people tend to treat themselves at the weekend, as this is often the time when after a long, hard week at work, we like to indulge a little and perhaps have some drinks or a meal out or a Sunday lunch with family/friends, but I refuse to believe that DIETERS as the article says, really go that far.
My advise for the weekend and something I have been doing for a while now, is to kick start the weekend with a good workout. Trust me you feel so much better for it.
Body Combat 10am every Saturday morning is my answer. This is even if I have been out the night before and had a glass of rose (or three) or if I have worked a late shift, I always start my weekend this way and would recommend to do so, as you can then allow yourself a nice Saturday night dinner or drinks and not feel bad about it.
Anyway, my point is, I don't agree with the extent of this article at all, but also don't think it is all that naughty to have a few treats at the weekend.... as long as you incorporate some exercise into your weekend as well and just be sensible with what you eat and your portion size.
Some exercise ideas:
A fun class first thing Saturday morning.
A long Sunday walk with Family
An early morning run to get some fresh air after 'the night before'
A bike ride with friends
Love,
