I love reading tips from my favourite Oxygen magazine Fitness Models. Reading information like this is reassuring that:
1.) fitness models are real people
2.) fitness models have cravings and weaknesses
3.) fitness models need strategies to stay on track too
Maggie D said “deprivation leads to over doing it” and I agree 100%. This is again why my coach’s FitnessPrint program rocks! I get to eat so much food and I am never hungry until it’s time for my next meal. My body always feels satisfied and fuelled.
I know that deprivation can lead to a vicious cycle of binging. Does this sound familiar? It’s better to eat 5-7 small meals a day, drink loads of water, herbal or green tea, and to include all food groups, including carbs and healthy fats (which I stayed away from for years because I thought they both made me ‘fat’ - wrong!) than to deprive your body of what it needs.
