The Day After Super Bowl Sunday SAMPLE MENU & Recipes

So I heard that Super Bowl is the second biggest "EATING DAY" of the year, next to Thanksgiving!  

Yikes!

I'm wondering, how did you eat?

I have spoken to a few clients who cooked some healthy food for their party and I also spoke to some clients who were just going to splurge.

Of course, I would rather have you eat the healthy stuff, but as long as your splurge was in MODERATION, it will be all good.

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER A SPLURGE?

Usually after a splurge one of two things can happen:

1.  You say "screw it", I already messed up "my diet", I'll just keep eating poorly because I feel bad about myself and I already "screwed it up", and you just can't get it together.

2.  You feel so bad about what you did yesterday, that you are going to eat perfectly.

My hope is that you choose to have a PERFECT eating day and get right back on it and don't dwell on what you did yesterday but rather FOCUS on what you can do today to make it better.

So, in case that you don't feel like thinking or don't know where to start, here is a good SAMPLE MENU for today.  I am going to make it a FIRE MEALS DAY, in case you over indulged yesterday.  And I am also giving you a recipe.

So, HAPPY DAY AFTER SUPER BOWL!
