We all know that when we go shopping hungry, we end up buying foods we don't normally eat, that are often more calorific and not as healthful. The same goes for when Eating Out or getting a Takeaway.
Another mistake we can make when planning ahead to eat out or getting a Takeaway is eating less during the day in the lead up, as this results in our blood sugar levels dropping causing an increase in hunger. Resulting in our body's 'Survival Mode' kicking in prompting us to choose high calorie options, refined Carbohydrates and eating mindlessly.
The secret to enjoying going out or enjoying a takeaway is to plan ahead.
