THE 4Q GUIDE TO MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND: THE FOOD PLAN
We made it to Memorial Day Weekend and we can practically smell summer -- summer Friday’s, long weekend getaways and lots of fun in the sun! But these weekends can be filled with tempting food and alcohol, and if you’re on a weight loss journey, you may feel like you need to choose between fun and weight loss. That is not the case! At 4Q, we believe you should enjoy life and still lose weight, so we put together a Food Plan and a Game Plan to help you through.
The hardest part about weekends with friends is the communal eating that happens because these meals are not usually designed with health and weight loss in mind. Below are some easy swaps that will allow you to eat with your food the weekend crew and still stay on track.
Having a make your own pizza night? Just swap with crust for a regular crust and you’re good to go!
Craving a taco night? Try these small corn tortillas for any of your tacos! We love that Vista Hermosa is made with wholesome ingredients and are portion-friendly.
Ezekiel english muffins are a great substitute for a bagel when your friends are making eggs in the morning!
Relaxing with some ice cream by the pool? Craving some post dinner sweets? Bring your Good Pop fudge popsicles for a light and satisfying treat!
Is everyone munching on candy? Try some frozen mango chunks. They make for a refreshing snack or post-dinner treat.
Need some car snacks like a pretzel substitute? Try splitz! They are so crunchy and satisfying. You can use code 4QMETHOD10 for a 10% discount on your order.
Chips and salsa by the pool? Swap your traditional tortilla chips for Beanfields for a chip choice that is higher in protein and fiber!
Enjoy your summer weekends with your 4Q approved delicious and wholesome swaps :). Let us know if you give any a try! And be sure to check out our MDW Game Plan for our strategic tips to keep feeling good AND having fun all weekend long.
