Don't watch the Super Bowl and avoid the foods that go with it!
That's what I did yesterday mainly because I am not a big fan of football.
But for you guys who sat back to enjoy the game and consumed an extra 1200 calories (which is the average excess calories consumed during this day!) here is what you should do to get over that football food hangover.
"Forgetta bout’ it!"
One meal won’t make you fat. Even one day of downing beer and chicken wings won’t do it. You might feel bloated from all the salt and fat but that is only water weight which will go away in a day or so ONLY if you get back on track with your workouts and healthy eating right away.
Start the next day off with a healthy high protein breakfast and get in a high intensity workout of weight training and interval cardio that will help to jumpstart that metabolism and sweat out all the excess water you are holding from eating that Super Bowl full of artery clogging potato chips.
Most diet plans actually recommend a cheat day once a week to eat what you want without sabotaging your weight loss goals. I like to look at it as a “reward” meal opposed to cheating which sounds like you are doing something bad. This gives you a mental break from your weekly planned meals as well as there are some biological benefits to consuming excess calories every so often when you are following a weight loss plan. The excess calories convinces your body that you are not starving and it will continue to burn bodyfat as you return to your healthy eating patterns.
But you can only benefit from your reward meals if you follow a structured workout and diet plan 90% of the time. This is what makes The Dad Fitness System so effective for busy dads and how you can lose that beer belly while still enjoying some of your favorite foods without the guilt.
Whether it’s the Sunday football game with the guys or wing night at your local pub, enjoying a reward meal once a week while following your fat loss plan will keep you burning fat long after those other guys following those starvation diets give up before the next big game rolls around.
