Hey there,If you’re filled with regret after you overindulge at a holiday meal or binge on junk food during a stressful or emotional time, there’s no need to despair. You might feel sick and maybe a little bit guilty, but a food binge isn’t the end of the world. It might take a few days, but you can get back on track to healthy eating.
Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate: “Drink lots of water – at least two liters or more – the next day to rehydrate your body after consuming high-salt and high-sugar foods as well as alcohol,. Keeping your body well-hydrated is always a good practice, especially after a binge, because water aids in digestion and reduces bloating.
Fill up on high-fiber, nutrient-rich foods, and lean protein, and don’t forget healthy snacks: I here recommend sticking with vegetables, fruits, and other foods with high-fiber content as well as lean protein the day after a binge. These foods can help restore lost vitamins and minerals. Lean protein is also important because it is digested very slowly which keeps you feeling full and helps prevent food cravings.
