How to make sure you don't pack on pounds?
Millions of people have been learning about
nutrition and weight control the hard way during
the recent COVID-19 crisis. That's because so
many stuck-at-home adults are forgetting to
exercise and making unwise food choices, partly
out of boredom and partly out of frustration at
the lack of socialization. There's even a new
term that's entered the language as a result of
so many folks gaining weight during the
lock-down "quarantine 15." This new bit of
jargon refers to the 15 pounds you are apt to
gain if you just eat whatever you want, whenever
you want, all while waiting out the virus
crisis. So, what's the best way to avoid
quarantine 15? There are plenty of solutions to
the dilemma. The main thing is to learn how to
avoid packing on the pounds during these unusual
times. One obvious remedy is to have contact-free
meals delivered daily from a company like
Fitness Kitchen, SoCals premier meal delivery
service. Tips for Staying Sane and Avoiding
Weight Gain Here are some of the things people
are doing to stay trim, remain fit, and maintain
their sanity while living in quarantine
  • Exercise every day There's no need to become a
    bodybuilder or fitness buff. The key thing to
    remember is to exercise every day, even if that
    means just 20 minutes of walking, taking a short
    job, doing some calisthenics, or lifting weights
    in your living room. Since you won't be able to
    go to the gym, turn your private living space
    into a place where you can do a simple workout.
    Do your walking or

jogging outside for a change of page. Avoid using
treadmills when you have the option of being
outside in fresh air.
  • Don't keep junk food around This is one of the
    oldest weight-loss secrets. It has withstood the
    test of time because it works for most people
    who try it. Don't buy or store junk food in your
    home. Keep plenty of fruits and vegetables on
    hand to satisfy snack cravings. If the
    low-nutrition junk isn't there, you won't be
    able to eat it. It's as simple as that.

  • Vary your activities To avoid boredom, which
    often leads to over-eating and compulsive
    snacking, try to vary your day's activities. For
    example, a day with a "varied" schedule might
    include mean you go for a walk or bike ride,
    play a board game with family members, eat lunch
    on the patio if the weather allows, phone a
    couple friends and reminisce, break up your job
    hours into three small sessions and spread them
    out from early morning to late afternoon, do some
    yoga stretches, listen to music, read, avoid
    watching too much TV, go to bed after taking a
    hot shower or bath.
  • Socialize creatively You can't go to movies or
    to the gym during the quarantine, but you can use
    your phone and computer. Make a list of people
    you have wanted to contact and send them either a
    hand-written letter or a thoughtful email
    message. Stay in touch with family via video chat
    and frequent phone calls. Check in with
    neighbors via text or telephone to see if they
    need anything. This is especially pertinent for
    older folks who live nearby.

  • Drink lots of water Here's another
    tried-and-true weight-loss tip that anyone can
    do. Staying hydrated is important anyway for
    purposes of general health. But when you're not
    able to be out and about as much as normal, it's
    wise to drink water frequently in order to quell
    random food cravings. There's a bonus in that
    you'll probably discover that your skin is
    clearer and smoother. Water has a way of making
    us look our best.
  • Buy locally-sourced meals Using a meal delivery
    service is something millions of consumers are
    doing in order to make sure they get clean meals
    that are made fresh daily. No matter where you
    live, select the best meal delivery service and
    try to find one that offers paleo to vegetarian
    meals.
  • Weigh yourself every day before breakfast
    Knowledge is power. When you weigh yourself every
    morning, you know where you stand in terms of
    weight gain or loss. That way, it's harder for a
    "few

5
pounds" to creep up unnoticed. An even better
thing to do is log your daily weight on a
calendar you keep on the kitchen wall. Whenever
you prepare food or open the refrigerator, you'll
be reminded of your current body weight. The
psychology of this technique is much more
powerful than you might suspect. Try it for a
couple weeks and see for yourself.
  • Take frequent breaks while working If you're
    working at home during the quarantine, take short
    stretch or walk breaks every hour. Not only do
    these mini-breaks help keep your blood
    circulating, you'll be able to avoid boredom and
    short-term burnout from staring at a computer for
    hours on end. As veteran work-at-home folks can
    tell you, boredom often turns into weight gain.

  • Practice moderation if you drink alcohol It's
    easy to consume too much alcohol when you're
    cooped up at home for several months. Don't fall
    for the trap of turning to alcoholic beverages to
    treat boredom. That's a fast route to weight
    gain and possibly developing a dependence on
    wine, beer, or liquor. Avoid packing on the
    pounds by limiting alcohol drinks to just one or
    two per day.
  • One of the smartest ways to avoid quarantine 15
    syndrome is to choose any of F itness Kitchen's
    locally-sourced, contact-free meals, so you can
    rest easy knowing they're 100 percent safe and
    made fresh daily. Customers can choose from
    paleo to vegetarian meals from SoCals premier
    meal delivery service and even save 75 on the
    first 2 weeks. Code CLEANMEALS75.
  • Choosing clean meals from the best meal delivery
    service and having them delivered daily to your
    home is easy, economical, and the most efficient
    way to keep the pounds off.
