6 ways to avoid over-eating this Bank Holiday weekend.

The bank holiday weekend is a great opportunity to relax, spend time with friends and family and indulge in some delicious food. However, it can also be a time when we tend to overeat, leading to feelings of guilt and discomfort.


Here are some tips to help you avoid overeating this bank holiday weekend and ensure your slim transformation journey:

  1. Plan your meals and snacks: Planning ahead can help you make healthier food choices and avoid impulse eating. Try to plan your meals and snacks for the day, and bring healthy snacks with you if you're going out. This can help you avoid unhealthy options when you're hungry.

  2. Choose the healthy options: When you're choosing what to eat, try to opt for healthier options. Choose lean proteins, and lots of fruits and vegetables. These foods will keep you feeling fuller for longer and provide the nutrients your body needs.

  3. Avoid distractions: When you're eating, try to avoid distractions like your phone or TV. These distractions can lead to mindless eating and make it more difficult to listen to your body's hunger and fullness signals.

  4. Practise mindful eating: Mindful eating is about paying attention to your body's hunger and fullness signals, and enjoying your food without distractions. Take the time to savor your food, and put your fork down between bites. This can help you eat more slowly and feel more satisfied.

  5. Stay hydrated: Drinking water can help you feel fuller and reduce the urge to overeat. Make sure to drink plenty of water throughout the day and choose water instead of those sugary drinks.

  6. Be mindful of alcohol consumption: Alcohol can be high in calories and can lower your inhibitions, making it more difficult to make healthy choices. Try to limit your alcohol consumption and choose lower calorie options like light beer or spritzers.

Practise self-compassion: Remember that it's okay to indulge occasionally, and it's important to be kind to yourself. If you do overeat, try not to beat yourself up about it. Instead, focus on getting back on track and making healthier choices going forward.


In conclusion, the bank holiday weekend is a time to relax and enjoy yourself, but it's important to be mindful of what you're eating. By planning ahead, choosing healthy options, and practicing mindful eating, you can avoid overeating and enjoy the weekend without guilt or discomfort.


Have a wonderful Coronation Weekend.
