Weight loss goals are beset by many dangers, these are called craving monsters(CM), who will do anything to throw your weight loss goals off target. One of the worst CM's for men is the one called "Social Beers".
This craving monster is truly deadly to the average man. Be it out with the guys after work, Staurday afternoon in the garden having a Barbeque or Sunday afternoon watching the Big Game on TV in your lazee boy. We need to retrain this CM and we need to retrain him now.
Now we have the BIG Game coming up soon, Super Bowl Sunday with the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Green Bay Packers. This is usually the BIG BLOWOUT Sunday for armchair football fans. Here is the golden opportunity to challenge your craving monsters.
How do we do this? Well we have to look at alternatives that will satisfy the craving monster but also one that will enable you to achieve your weight loss goals because you are fed up being fat. So lets look at the main problem with the ol' brewski. Lots of sugar and carbs which is what we do not want to consume as this slows down and stops our achieving our goal to lose weight. So lets start to retrain this craving monster with some solid tools that can be used.
Tool #1 - DO I NEED TO DRINK THIS BEER? No I can have a JD and Diet Coke instead which has no carbs and the amount of caloires is less than 50% of a beer. Also when you drink spirits you will drink less because the urge to CHUG a spirit drink is not there but it is also a stronger drink than the usual brewski.
Tool#2 - NO SUGAR NO BREAD - well beer contains sugar and carbs which we do not want so again we swerve the beer in favour of a JD and Diet Coke.
So what do I eat instead?
Take some salami and cut into small slices, like discs, then put them in the microwave on kitchen paper for 1 minute and you have Salami Chips.
Take some cheddar cheese and cut into squares about 2" x 2" and put them in the heated oven for 5 minutes and you have crispy cheese chips to eat.
Gherkins are also good to crunch on while you are watching the game.
So there you go you have some snack ideas.
