You can benefit from weekend habits. For example, some of them might help you lose 15 pounds or even more. Eating healthy and following your workout routine from Monday to Friday is something that you should be proud of.

But what about your weekends? Are you as determined on days off as you are on working days? You’ll achieve your weight loss goals sooner if you do the following:

1. Order an expensive drink

Buy a fancy cocktail instead of five cheap beers. Not only will you taste a quality drink, you will also consume much fewer calories. You can try and order a glass of expensive wine you have never tasted before or something stronger, like brandy, rum or whiskey. The point is to drink less, but drink fancier stuff. It will also help you feel better the next morning since the quality of beverages you consume matters a lot. More than that, since you will have drunk much less, you will have eaten much less as well! As you can see, advantages of buying expensive alcohol are obvious.

2. Following other people’s meals

It’s hard to resist peer pressure while ordering a meal. Temptation to order a rich dish that contains loads of calories is rather strong when you see other people around you eating cheesy burgers, pizzas and lasagna. Learn to plan your orders in advance and you will easily fight the urge. Check out the menu online before heading to the restaurant. Pick dishes that are full of vegetables and fiber and low in calories.
