How to rebound your diet after over-indulging during summer holiday barbecues.
"We eat to celebrate holidays, events, and gatherings with friends and family. It’s easy to overeat when socializing as you may not be paying attention to your hunger cues," says registered dietician Katie Dodd who owns The Geriatric Dietitian. "You may also be eating fun, delicious foods (and maybe even desserts) that you don’t usually consume. It’s easy to eat a dessert even when you are full, just to enjoy the flavor and to celebrate the holiday." Dodd says it’s important to see the bigger picture. "One day or weekend of overeating will not likely have negative effects on our health. It is more important to focus on the healthy habits we have before and after holiday celebrations," she said. "Get back to eating a healthy diet and moving your body. Don’t punish yourself for enjoying some extra foods because this can create an unhealthy relationship with foods and may lead you to binge or overeat these foods." Here are easy, expert tips to get back on track after a weekend of indulgence.More Related News
