How long does it usually take you to break your New Year’s resolutions? Most people don’t even last past the first week. But with these resolutions, you will be breaking records all over the place!
1. Don’t eat less – sounds crazy, doesn’t it? But it isn’t that you need to eat less, just eat more fruits and vegetables – you don’t ever have to be hungry.
2. Eat like you are at a buffet – in other words eat the stuff at the beginning of the buffet first, like greens and whole-grain salads. Then move on to the meet, etc. Oh – and you may want to put that on a smaller plate, it tricks your brain!
3. Don’t be afraid of second helping – if you know you can get more you won’t try to fill it up so full to begin with! And after you eat it all, chances are you won’t really want more anyway….
4. Drink Vodka – if you don’t want to eliminate alcohol completely, pick something that doesnt require sugary mixers – go for vodka and soda with a twist.
5. Eat Dessert – thou shalt not deprive thyself! eat a little bit of something just so that you don’t start getting huge cravings. A few bites of ice cream can make all the difference between you and that binge.
