Added to Articles on Thu 08/09/2012

Every diet has wiggle room, whether it's for for a birthday, wedding or just a bad day. You can always get back on track. Here's how.

 

Learn to Cheat

 Getting back on track is easy. You know how. Automate your meals and apply the Rule of 5. But here are some quick ways to cheat when your cravings are due to a boring afternoon at the office, a long car ride or stress.

 

  • The Lip Lick. Breathe in, lick your lips, swallow, and breathe out slowly, saying "ohm." Let the cool air flow across your lips. The soothing move - which takes all of about 3 seconds - helps you to reset, calm down, and refocus.
  • Spice it Up. Red pepper or cinnamon added to your food can amp up the flavor of food and saturate yearnings for something sweet.
