Binging over Christmas
|
Let's say you are usually quite disciplined with your diet. How damaging, in terms of fat gain, is it likely to be if you had one or two weeks off over Christmas and just ate and drank whatever and whenever you like?
How far back can a christmas binge put you in the war against lard?
If you eat healthy for whole or most part of the year, a few weeks of Christmas and holidays won't do much harm, I guess
If you put two weights on the scale, lighter will never overweight the heavier one - that's my logic You should enjoy your Christmas and your life from time to time, we are all humans and we all love tasty food - on the other hand, people at Christmas party that put only vegetables on their plates are example of sick and unhealthy obsession Don't slave to anything like that 
not much tbh I have Christmas dinner as Ree feed and maybe treat myself to chocolate your two . I can stop eating when ever I want . why would you Bing for 2 weeks straight / when you eat 80% healthy to 20 % crap . the shit food end up tasting like poo seriously I cant even drink soda any more it taste like poo . I only drink on occasional so its the night out that kill me for 4 days a way! but even then only going to night club for 1 night and I have been eating healthy better each year on day will not kill you . my brother likes night out and its hes birthday .
the problem is most people eat like its Christmas day every day . So let's say I eating what ever I wanted for 2 weeks straight this Christmas. For some weird reason here what would happen . Ill go from 145lbs 13% to 160lbs maybe 16 or 15 % body fat . and have spot's all over my face and used lot's tissue paper and have lower bank balance . and get called less attractive and problem treated different too . people say nicer arms but they say nice hamster cheeks . on the bright side ill lift heaver weights oh wait no body cares about that .

Huge answer, below Christmas is a time of period when you share your time with family and friends. Eating together is a bonding thing, and trust me you may not enjoy the company of many family members for long, so make those "christmas days" count to the max. Now there are a few tips you can try, in order to minimize overeating 1) Before going to the dinner, do intermittent fasting. This is an excellent way to "save" some calories for your big meals and favourite foods 2) Drink at least 2 glasses of water before sitting down to eat. This will reduce your appetite. 3) Workout really hard the day before or the days before Christmas Eve. This will increase your glycogen stores/fat stores and will make you store most of the food as energy and not as fat. 4) After the meal, if possible, go for a walk with your family. 5) Always have plenty of lean meat at your plate, and start with lean meat and salad first. This... Tbh, even if you dont do all this, you still aint gonna increase your bf% by much, if at all. There is a thing called supercompensation, and your body does that when you eat large amounts of protein/carbs. When all your glycogen stores are full, your body increases your body temperature as a way to burn off excess calories. Also, if you are not competing in something very strict in nature, like bodybuilding, you have no fear of gaining a little bit of bodyfat. Use all that extra energy to push yourself at the gym the next few days and i guarantee you you are going to get new prs the days following christmas eve. Stay happy, and stay healthy. 1 day wont do jackshit. A whole year has 365 days, its what you do in the rest 364 that matters, not just 1 single day

(you could sneak in 800 cal's of cardio...or not) so the next week you make a huge effort to cut down and presto...back top square one 3 day binge can easily be over done.......as long as it stops after 3 days...

I mean you know 3,500 cal's = 1lb right? No one mentions this fact anywhere......but we all know this right?? What do you mean by binge? 4,000 cal's, 8,000, 10,000+ How long for? |
