Special moments in life are worth celebrating without feeling guilty. Oftentimes, we do so by connecting over food and drinks. This can be tricky when you are on a diet watch. After all, a day of bad eating will not have a heavy impact on your overall physique. It takes days and even weeks for an individual’s body fat to have an impact on their overall health or fitness venture. By all means, drink one or two drinks and have several plates of good eats. Follow these tips for when you have relapsed.
Eat right the next day
One day is okay but if you continue it might become problematic. Eating healthy the next day allows your body to process what was ingested the day before. Eating healthy the next day is also one small victory for your diet. Consistency is multiple small victories over a period of time while working toward one goal. If you are a planner, plan your meals for breakfast, lunch, dinner and even snacks to avoid temptations.
Maintain workout or go light
Don’t go crazy on routines because you are trying to burn those extra calories from the day before. If you are already consistent in the gym there’s no need to spend extra time doing the strenuous workout because eating right the next day allows your body to readapt. Basically, DO NOT SPEND the length of time you typically spend at the gym. Lastly, cut down on the number of sets. Try some of these quick and easy recovery workouts below.

Hydrate
What is going to help with digestion? Water! Adult beverages tend to dehydrate the body’s cells so drinking enough water throughout the day keeps the body functioning and helps with food digestion. Drinking water also helps to subside temptation by taking up space in our stomach.
