We’ve all been there . . . in situations where carb- and sugar-filled foods are abundant and whispering your name ever so sweetly. But you’re committed to your RevAbs program, and you know that if you want to lose the love handles, you need to make good choices. Find out how the
RevAbs Core Crew stays committed to healthy eating habits even in the most tempting food-related social situations.
Check out the tips below, and watch the video.
Avoiding cocktails in bars
“When friends invite me to bars or restaurants and I want to still be social and order something, I just order sparkling mineral water. With the bubbles and lime, it still feels festive and sort of like a cocktail.”
—Jessica B.
Eating healthily at restaurant birthday dinners
“For my best friend’s birthday dinner, I ordered grilled fish and subbed a green vegetable for the risotto. I also brought my healthy crackers so I’d have something to eat when everyone else was eating their cakes and pies.”
—Shawn R.
Fighting temptation
“What helps me stick to the
RevAbs plan when faced with temptation is pausing and asking myself, ‘Is it worth it?’ When my roommate baked cookies and our apartment smelled amazing, when my friends toasted me for my birthday, and when I sat at a Superbowl party in front of an amazing spread of pizza and chips, I asked myself if it was worth the work I still have to put in, worth the feeling of pain I have felt so many times on that final rep, and worth the guilt I’ll feel by breaking my promise to commit. At the end I want to stand there and know that my results are worth it.”
—Michelle D.
Staying full and satisfying the sweet tooth
“If I get a horrible craving, I try to drink water or fill up on herbal tea. I also make sure I have my midafternoon snacks on me. Sometimes I mix some
Shakeology in a cup and have it for dessert after dinner. Or I’ll mix a mini-teaspoon of stevia and cinnamon for a sweet fix after the meal.”
—Kristelle M.
Bringing your own food to parties and sporting events
“When I bring my own food to parties, I use the same plates that others are eating off of so I feel like I fit in. Sometimes I’ll replace my salad with the salad they’re serving at a party, but use lemon or a smaller portion of dressing to avoid the high calories.”
—Jeanette C.
“With events like the college football final game, the almighty Superbowl, and Lakers games, there seems to always be a reason to drink and eat unhealthy foods like pizza, hot wings, and potato chips with dip. I’ve gone to all these events, and let me tell you, I’ve shown up with my own bag of healthy food every single time. My friends look at me as if I brought them goodies and want to try my food, but I tell them they’re my meals. I feel great about my results, my discipline, and my new eating habits.”
—Jose C.
Setting up your space
“I have a photo of my ideal perfect abs and take a weekly picture and resave it as my screensaver next to the goal picture so I’m constantly comparing it. I set up my water,
Shakeology, and vitamins in their places on my desk. My daily workout calendar stares at me, and my photo with my inspiration line, “Fight like a warrior,” is right in front of me all day. All of this is a constant reminder not to cheat. I see what I really want and remind myself not to sabotage my results.”
—Bryan C.
Being a role model
“If you care about your friends and family, don’t let their bad habits sway you. By sticking to your routine, they’ll see your dedication and be encouraged by your results to want to make changes too.”
—Bryan C. [Same as above]
