XL VII As a Super Bowl, Not Clothing Size
Pre game: it’s a strategy used by many social people trying to keep the weight off. Though it may not mean what it meant to you in college, the rewards of this kind of pre gaming are even sweeter.
Dietitian Kristin Shaffer explains how to do it.
1. Eat Before (Duh) But Choose Wisely. Munch on food that is light but will fill you up, like fruit, vegetables, yogurt, oatmeal and fish. Lower sodium meats (check the sodium labels if not eating fresh) like chicken, turkey breast without skin, and lean cuts of beef or pork could also work.
2. Drink Water. Your hydration level has a lot to do with how you regulate your appetite. “A lot of times, people feel hungry when they’re really just thirsty,” said Shaffer. “They snack when they should really be sipping a glass of water.”
3. Get Physical. Walk the dog, walk yourself, go to the gym, do an exercise video, work in the yard, learn the Thriller dance off Youtube, just get moving. Kick start a healthy mindset.
Later, when people remark on your self-control and good choices, you can tell them you Pre Gamed.
