Kettlebody Tip #64: Order dessert to go (but maybe have one bite first)

Most trainers would tell you to skip dessert. I would only say that if you don’t like or don’t feel like having dessert.

But if you are out for lunch or dinner, and you want some dessert, my best tip is to order it to go.

Here’s why:

If you have just eaten a meal, there is no possible way that you are still hungry. Ok, maybe if your meal was celery sticks, but who goes to a restaurant for those things?

When you are not hungry that means your body doesn’t want or need food. If you feed your body when it is not hungry, your body will store that food as excess fuel.

So to honor your body and not feed it when it doesn’t want food, all you have to do is wait until you are hungry again. Then eat the dessert!

The best part is, you will enjoy the dessert much more when you are actually hungry. It’s true, hunger is the best seasoning!

Now, if you are absolutely dying to know what the dessert tastes like, open up the package and savor one, delicious bite!
