How To Visit With The Family And Still lose Weight

Visiting the family almost always means blowing your diet. A family gathering usually means food and lots of it. Family also tends to think you’re not eating enough or that you should really try Aunt Cybil’s potato salad and you simply must have a big slice of Grandma’s homemade apple pie. These types of family visits can wreak havoc for your diet and waistline.

But visiting the family doesn’t mean you have to give up the hopes for sticking to your diet plan. Here are some suggestions on how to survive on your eating plan and not return home completely blowing it.

First of all, do not tell anyone you are on a diet. The very minute a family member hears the word diet you will be sabotaged for your entire stay. Studies have shown that when family or close friends find out you are trying to lose weight they seek out to sabotage your plan so that you can be miserable just like they are. They are jealous at the thought or sight of you losing weight and they will encourage you to eat and eat primarily to justify their own overeating habits.

Eat like a bird. The best way to avoid hurting grandma’s feelings is to first serve a huge salad on your plate with just a small amount of dressing. If there is no vinaigrette dressing available just toss a little bit of olive oil and balsamic vinegar on your salad. Now serve just a little amount (equal to 3-4 bites) of the best looking things on the table. Start off by eating the best looking item on your plate and take a few bites of it before trying the next best thing. Stop when you have had a few bites and just sit for a minute and listen to your body. If you still feel hungry, then continue to eat a few more bites and then rest a few again. If you try and prolong your meal out to 20-25 minutes you will find you will be full before you can even finish everything served on your plate. Stop when you start to feel the onset of not feeling hungry anymore but before you feel full.

If dessert comes around, try a sliver of a sliver. This means, take half of the amount you would normally served, now eat only half of that amount. If anyone questions why you are not eating more, simply respond with “Everything was so delicious that I cannot eat another bite”. This way the family will feel appreciated and you can walk away knowing you didn’t do much damage to your diet.
