Tis the season. The season before the real holiday season its fall and its football time. If you and no one in your family like to vege out and watch football all day Sunday, then maybe you are immune to the inevitable bad eating that goes with watching football.

The September football season often kicks off a season of bad eating for a lot of Americans, not just the football season.  Things like chips, soda, pizza, wings, pasta, burgers and other high fat, salty and sugary processed foods are unfortunately the most popular football season fare.

There are some people who are totally immune to it, because they either dont watch football or come into contact with a whole lot of people who do.  However, this is a huge American pastime that has only gained more in popularity with college football getting more viewers as well.

On a football day with friends and family, you may just keep munching and muching without even realizing it.  It ends up being an all out all day buffet for lots of people.  You can fight this though by using a couple weight maintenance backup ideas.

One thing I like to do is to take a fiber drink before I eat. This helps to expand my stomach and prevents me from eating way too much. It also helps to keep you regular since a lot of these foods not only pack on the pounds but also do not lend themselves to constipation, another weight loss killer.

You can take a supplement such as fish oil or flax seed as well. Both contain powerful omega 3 fatty acids, which help to send signals to the brain that you are full. This prevents you from filling up on junk all day also.

Apple cider vinegar and cinnamon also help because they regulate the blood sugar, which prevents large spikes and drops in the blood sugar. Our blood sugar ups and downs also cause us to crave bad foods like carbs and sugars and fats.

Both apple cider vinegar (the real thing is better than a supplement, but a supplement will do in a pinch) and cinnamon are excellent not only for weight loss andweight maintenance support, but also for those that have hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia.

It would be wise to avoid high sugar drinks as well. If you can, drink only light beer that is also low in carbs.  Or, if you like to drink sugary soda, then make sure it is sweetened with stevia or erythritol, both of which are safe sugar alternatives that have zero calories and none of the chemical man made stuff.
