Labor Day Pains
Hey everyone it’s Labor Day Weekend. BBQs! BBQs! BBQs! Loosing weight can be difficult when faced with a holiday which revolves around food. Luckily I find BBQ’s the easiest to stick to when living a Low Carb lifestyle. All you have to do is follow my simple tips.
- Eat something before you arrive
- Pile on Salad (Be aware of the dressing for carbs)
- Veggie tray or make you own with sour cream dip and salad veggies
- Grilled Veggies are always great (Skip the Corn & Potatoes of course)
- Avoid BBQ sauce, too much sugar
- Grab the meat & shish kabobs off the grill before BBQ sauced
- Offer to bring a pasta dish made with Dreamfields Pasta (no one will know the difference & with 5 digestible carbs you’ll love it)
- Grab a slice of Watermelon 2.7 net carbs per 1/4 cup
- Take travel diet powder drink mix to throw in a bottle water in case there are no diet drinks (I like target’s strawberry lemonade, cheap & tasty)
- If you must drink liquor stick to the hard stuff mixed with diet, your not drinking carbs but you are drinking calories so don’t crazy. (Tequila is the lowest with 67 cals per oz)
Don’t beat yourself up if you can’t resist.
One cheat out of 30 days is nothing just jump back into your diet.
