What should I do the day after I ate too much?

[emiliamilana]

I am on a diet because I would like to lose weight. Today I ate way too much food, probably 2000-3000 calories. I usually eat about 1400. I feel so bad and guilty about it. Should I try to ear very little tomorrow to make up for it or just go back to my diet?

Thank you 💗

It's common to feel guilty after overeating, but it's important to remember that one day of overeating doesn’t mean you’ve ruined your entire diet. Instead of punishing yourself by drastically reducing your calorie intake the next day, focus on getting back to your normal routine and eating healthy, balanced meals.

Trying to restrict your calorie intake too much the day after overeating can actually be counterproductive. It can lead to feelings of deprivation and hunger, which may increase the likelihood of overeating again in the future. Additionally, if you drastically reduce your calorie intake, you may not be getting the nutrients your body needs to function properly.

Instead, focus on incorporating healthy foods into your meals, such as lean protein, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. These types of foods will help you feel full and satisfied, and provide your body with the nutrients it needs to function properly.

It's also important to listen to your body and not punish yourself for overeating. Instead, try to identify what may have triggered the overeating, such as stress or boredom, and find healthier ways to cope with those emotions in the future.

Remember, weight loss is a journey and there will be ups and downs along the way. Don't let one day of overeating derail your progress. Stay positive, focus on your goals, and keep moving forward.

No don't do that just go back on track and eat what you normally eat, there's nothing wrong with taking a cheat day, to treat yourself every now and then

[emiliamilana]

thank you! i was really stressing out about this so your answer makes me feel better.

[MementoMori777]

Yea don't stress it remember that you don't want to grow a eating disorder, becoming obsessive like this highers your chances of forming one, it's highly unrealistic that eating fancy one day throughout your diet will make you obese lol

[emiliamilana]

i used to have an ED as a teenager which is why these thoughts come to me i think. but i will try not to think about it so much :)

[MementoMori777]

I'm glad you've managed to overcome that eating disorder, but don't let's those thoughts take over, you are fine, nothing wrong with cheat days unless you make everyday a cheat day ha, my best wishes on your dietary journey Emilia and I hope you reach your goals. 💯🙌

[emiliamilana]

haha thank you so much, I really appreciate it, you seem very kind 🫶🏼

[MementoMori777]

No problem and thank you, overall I am but I got my not so perfect side, you seemed very kind and gentle and worried, I just returned the same energy and tried helping you with your worry at the same time, no biggie 😆💯

[emiliamilana]

[MementoMori777]

What you do is you get up you put on your walking shoes you go outside to get fresh air and you walk for 30 minutes at a very fast pace 30 minutes a day for 30 days your whole body I mean every inch of your body will start toning up you will see a big big change within a week I mean even your nose will change your whole body will tone you will fall in love with yourself the fresh air will clean your mind it will make you feel and think differently you should try it 30 minutes a day for 30 days at a very fast pace and watch and see what happens but you have to commit and do it for 30 days no sugar Waters no soda drink good water because all bottled water is garbage nowadays if you don't believe me buy a bottled water put a black light up to it and look at all the disgusting different colors in it I think it's cool that you ask this question because I actually believe that you have a goal and I think that you're going to reach that goal

[emiliamilana]

thank you so much :)

[ohsheeT]

Your very welcome if you do 239 min away. At a fast pace in 30 days you will be so happy you did it it will change everything about you

[ohsheeT]

Lol not 239. * if you do 30 *

[emiliamilana]

i‘m definitely going to try it! did you start doing it too and if yes, when did you start?

[pascal_climbs]

Nothing. You don't loose or gain weight in one day. It is a process of several weeks. So eating too much on one day, will not change anything. Just stick to your diet the following days.

Do nothing. Eat a tad bit healthier. This shouldn’t matter if you are at a weight that is relatively healthy

[emiliamilana]

okay thanks. my BMI is 21 so normal weight

[kylee2437]

Yeah don’t worry about it. Obviously don’t eat like this everyday, but eating like this once in a while isn’t going to affect you

[emiliamilana]

ok great. thanks for your help! :)

[MORPHEUS_12]

[SawerBrown]
