December is not the best month for your line. We like to enjoy the goodies, but it doesn't hurt to have a balance day every now and then.
With these tips, your balance day can hardly go wrong.
- Preferably plan the balance day on a day when you are at home or at work and do not have dinner.
- Prepare for your balance day. Make sure you have enough healthy products at home and preferably as few chips and cookies in the cupboard as possible.
- Start your day with a healthy and nutritious breakfast.
- Make sure you have enough healthy snacks with you. When you get hungry during the day, you give in more quickly to the temptation of something tasty.
- Do you fancy a hot lunch? Don't be tempted by the croquette sandwich, but have a cup of soup.
- Dare to say no if someone offers you something tasty during your balance day. You don't have to be ashamed of having a balance day. Chances are that people actually respect you.
- If you suddenly feel the need for something tasty, have fruit, a muesli bar, a bowl of yogurt or another healthy snack.
- Drink enough water during the day and avoid alcohol.
- Don't skip dinner, but opt for a light dinner. Choose lean meat or fish. If necessary, check the packaging to see how many calories it contains.
