Just a brief chat today about eating and drinking while corset training. Those who have been doing it a while no doubt have their eating routines sussed, but for those just starting out I wanted to point out the joys of eating little and often and the perils of cold drinks when corset training.
When wearing a corset it’s very easy to feel bloated and uncomfortable after a large meal. With your stomach compressed it’s normal to only eat a little over half of what you normally would without feeling discomfort. This is why corset training is associated with weight loss and is indeed very similar to having a gastric band! So the best thing to do while corset training is to separate meals into smaller ones: have 5 smaller meals instead of 3. Breakfast, brunch, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner. This helps cut out snacking too and as smaller meals digest better it’s good for your health!
Lastly a cautionary word about cold drinks. A cold beverage will fool your stomach into thinking it’s emptier than it is because it numbs it to an extent. So if you’re partial to over eating in your corset, try to sip cold drinks rather than having big gulps. Otherwise after the cold effect wears off you’ll feel more uncomfortable than usual!
