Calories aren't like cash - you can't save them for a night out!

Time and time again we talk to ladies who tell  us they didn't eat during the day because they're going out tonight. They're trying to save up calories to be able to eat freely. Unfortunately it just doesn't work like that and this is one of those myths that's out in our society as if it's a gospel truth. The reality is this is the worst thing you could for any weight loss attempts. It's like some kind of reverse punishment reward where you punish yourself FIRST, then reward yourself afterwards. Don't do it! 

Here's what's going to happen;

• You're going to be tired and possibly hangry before you even go out! You might need a few drinks before you leave the house to "get you going"
• If you're going out for a meal you will end up choosing the highest fat/sugar option (as it will be the most satiating to your starving body) and you will think your making the best choice, eating exactly what you want to, because you "saved" calories
• You will over-eat
• Pudding will be a matter of life and death - again, will-power won't save you
• You will be more influenced by others

If you eat normally during the day before a big night out, you will make better choices on your night out. You can choose something you wouldn't normally have and really enjoy it. You will feel better the next day and you can get back on track. Calories can't be saved like cash - it will have a negative impact on your metabolism, your health and your wellbeing.
