Weekend Weight Cycles Drive Slow Fat Gain
- Most people maintain weight during weekdays but gain on weekends due to overeating and lower activity.
- Repeating this pattern across weeks and holidays leads to gradual annual fat gain requiring repeated mini cuts.
Choose Active Social Weekend Plans
- Do active, fun weekend activities you can't do during the week like hiking, biking, or gardening.
- Invite friends and make these social activities that don't center on food or alcohol to burn calories and avoid overeating.
Limit Alcohol And Eat Before Drinking
- Avoid excessive alcohol and eat something before drinking to reduce intake.
- Prefer lower-calorie drinks: wine, light beer, or spirits with calorie-free mixers and track wine calories closely.
