If your idea of relaxing involves vegging out on the couch with your best buddies Ben & Jerry, you may want to listen up!
Tip 26: Stay Active!
Staying busy and active is a big factor in avoiding "vegging out," a form of relaxing that involves little movement and a lot of mindless munching!
Of course we all need some down time to just relax, but staying relatively active can help ward off laziness and overeating due to boredom.
Click "read more" to read some tips on how to stay active and avoid mindless munching!
- schedule your down time
- try to make leisure activities physically active (such as going for a walk with your spouse or playing with your kids)
- avoid procrastination and distractions in regards to work (focus on getting a paper or task finished instead of wasting time playing around mindlessly on the internet)
How to avoid overeating WHILE staying active:
- make meals and snacks have their own special time. try not to multitask. (eating at your desk while surfing the web can make you overeat just as badly as if you were in front of the TV)
- avoid bringing food into relaxing situations
- keep to your schedule (if it says two hours of relaxation, limit yourself to two hours)
