Help! Back from holiday and can’t stop eating

2 replies

I’m jet lagged, tired and off until Tuesday and can’t stop eating. I’ve just been picking at things all day long every day since I’ve been back.
My clothes won’t fit me if I carry on.
I wake up with good intentions but they’re out the window by 11am.
How do I get back in control?

Drink glass of water every time you think you want to eat. Go for some long walks instead of eating. Eat crunchy veg like carrot sticks and cucumber.

Think about what and how you were eating abroad

Like when Im on a beach holiday, Ill have the buffet breakfast, the snack at lunchtime and then its all about the evening meal

There will also be ice cream , maybe a wee pastry or something mid afternoon

Come home and life means its a coffee around 10, ( no breakfast ) maybe a bit of something at 3pm and then dinner at 7

So its a bit messed up, body still wanting holiday , life means get back into routine

Have a bigger breakfast, lose the carbs, go for fibre and protein. Same for lunch, dont reach for the bread , have fibre and protein again, and stuff the fruit in

Will take about a week to kick in but try to avoid carbs before lunch

Dont stop carbs, our body needs them
