Be realistic
Your goal for the weekend is to keep your weight stable (actually losing weight is for Monday to Friday – see box, right). With this approach you can still achieve a steady loss of a pound or so a week.
Catch up on your sleep
There’s a strong correlation between sleep deprivation and weight gain, so use the weekend to make sure you get enough sleep. The more rested you are, the better you’ll be at fending off cravings. And while you’re asleep, you won't be eating!
Enjoy Sunday brunch
Eating a late-morning meal can be waistline-friendly as long as it replaces breakfast and lunch. But ditch croissants, which in a study came bottom out of 38 foods for their ability to fill you up. Tuck into eggs and lean bacon instead, which can keep hunger at bay for hours.
Be prepared
