Football season is a time that brings a myriad of different feelings, traditions, and effects.  From tailgates by the stadium, BBQs at the house, and the thrill of the postseason.  Gamedays are a sacred time, and while they can be as fun as you make them, gamedays can potentially be catastrophic when it comes to overeating. You can have a great week of healthy eating and exercise ruined by eating or drinking too much on Sundays. Just like in football, though, you can call an audible and change up your eating strategy. Here are some ideas on how you can conquer gameday and healthily enjoy them.

1. Limit the alcohol.

Football games can be a great time to crack open a beer and relax. Yet, this is where the lines can get blurred. As the game gets more intense, you may feel inclined to enjoy more than one beverage.  The more alcohol you consume, the harder it will be to say no to all the gameday sweets. Limit yourself to no more than two drinks and stick to lower-calorie cocktails and beer. It is also essential that you hydrate with plenty of water to avoid dehydration. Water will also help you make good decisions throughout the day.

2. Stay Home if possible

We all have different gameday rituals and routines. You may be one to sit and watch the game at home, you may go out to a sports bar or restaurant, or you might like a tailgate and enjoy the game at the stadium. Wherever you are enjoying your gameday, manage what you eat and consume that day. You can still eat healthy when going out to watch the game, but if you prioritize calorie control, staying home may be the best thing to do.  You control what is in your pantry and can save money and calories by staying home instead of going out.

3. Take Lipozene

When it comes to enjoying game days without overindulging, Lipozene is the way to go. You will be able to enjoy the foods you like and still lose weight. Taking two Lipozene capsules before going to the game could mean enjoying gameday and not overeating. Lipozene helps to create a feeling of fullness that can last for hours, making it perfect for Sundays watching football. Lipozene is America’s number one selling diet supplement and it can help you conquer gameday.

4. Switch around what you eat

While gameday staples such as hot dogs, wings, and chips can taste delicious, they can also be very fattening. Lucky for us, there are plenty of healthier options when it comes to game day. Get a charcuterie board or a veggie plate to snack on during the game instead of going for chips.  Rather than grilling burgers, go for healthier cuts of lean meat such as turkey or chicken. Instead of drinking heavy IPAS, go for seltzer or low-calorie beer. There are alternatives to each food group that you can take advantage of and healthily satisfy your cravings.

5. Avoid Stress eating

Sports can be stressful to watch. Whether it’s your team in the middle of the defensive stand or a fast-paced shootout, the excitement of the game can sneak up on you out of nowhere. This excitement can turn into stress if your team is on the wrong side of these moments. When you are stressed during a game, avoid stress eating to the extent you can. Those extra few cookies won’t solve the problems your team is facing. It will create more significant problems for you that may pop up on the scale at the end of the day.  If the game is causing you to stress eat, consider turning the game off and doing something more relaxing. Clearing your mind and reminding yourself that it’s just a game can help avoid unnecessary stress and calories.

6. Eat something beforehand

A common mistake is showing up to the game without eating anything beforehand. Stadium food can be delicious, but it can also be expensive and unhealthy too. Have something to eat before you partake in all the gameday festivities; you will save calories and cash by arriving at the game having already eaten something.

Conclusion

Game days can bring many great memories, but it is essential to remember that you don’t have to eat everything in sight to have a good time. Remember to prioritize having a good time and root for your team.
