Here are 5 winning strategies to help keep you on track

Don’t Go Hungry

If you’re heading out to a friend’s house or a sports bar, drinking a protein shake before you go will help you feel satisfied, give you a good balance of protein, fats and carbs, and keep you on plan. Be sure to pack a ZEN BODI shake to go, so you have options. When you aren’t hungry, you make better food choices and don’t overindulge.

Eat Fresh Fruits & Veggies

Where there’s a sporting event, a festival or anywhere that attracts visitiors,there’s always unhealthy food. Instead of reaching for the calorie-laden chips and dip, try eating lighter with fresh fruits and vegetables. Nibble on a veggie tray or prepare a delicious green or fruit salad. This helps avoid temptation.

Don’t Drink Your Calories

Calories in soda, juice and alcoholic beverages add up quickly. Try sticking to light beer or wine, or introduce some infused waters to your festivities. There are countless recipes online or you can experiment with your own favorite fruits for a one-of-a-kind beverage. Remember, if you’re going to drink alcohol, try to avoid eating carbs.

Get Active!

Don’t just be a spectator…get up and get moving! If you’re planning for a later afternoon or evening gathering, try to hit the gym earlier in the day, create your own friendly competition of touch football, or go for a brisk walk/run. Any activity will help burn calories and make your day more enjoyable.

Be Prepared

If you’ll be attending a party, ask the host if you can bring a healthy side dish or beverage to share. Be sure to bring your MRFK (Mobile Readiness Food Kit), and pack some healthy foods like nuts, protein bars and a ZEN BODI shake. This way, you know there will be food options for you to eat and enjoy, and others will benefit too!

By following these 5 winning strategies, you’ll be able to stay on plan and enjoy the festivities without regret. If you do go off plan, pick right back up where you left off. If you indulge, indulge in moderation! Have fun and remember…progress over perfection.
