Let’s be honest..
Every supermarket you’ll walk in today will have piles of chocolate eggs lined up right at the entrance…
Ready for the Easter break..
All sizes, all flavours, ready to go…
And as much as they’re meant to be for kids…
They’ll probably end up in your stomach instead…
So here’s what you should do to avoid overindulging…
Keep Your Regular Breakfast
If you normally eat porridge, have some porridge..
If it’s some eggs, bacon, ham or a couple of slices of toast, so be it..
But the worst thing you could do…
Is to wake up on a nice Easter morning and start your day with…
A chocolate egg, hot-cross buns, doughnuts or something similar..
Once you eat those…
Your sugar goes up, your insulin is released to lower it down, your sugar level goes too low…
And after a little energy boom and bust you go for another piece of chocolate…
And your emotional roller-coaster eating is here again
Keep Eating Like Any Other Normal Day
If you’re normally eating 4 meals a day then stick to 4 meals a day…
If you normally snack in the afternoon then stick to your habit again..
Your body is used to a certain routine and it’s adjusted to operate efficiently…
So even if you have a bit of chocolate instead of some nuts in the afternoon…
It will find a way of utilizing it…
The problem only arises if your eating regime changes completely…
And instead of your usual meal times…
You skip your breakfast..
Go straight into lunch with some dessert…
Eat nothing but snack in the afternoon…
Have a late dinner and then a whole lot of chocolate late at night..
Have Some Protein Rich Meal Upfront
It will slow down the sugar release…
And although you’ve had some chocolate..
It will be a lot better than eating mac n’ cheese…
And having a chocolate bar on top of that…
Causing a little less damage…
And helping you to stay in shape throughout and even after your Easter break..
Conclusion
So those are the top 3 ideas on how to deal with Easter chocolate overload…
When you have some chocolate, enjoy!
