The term ‘cheat meal’ has a negative connotation which is why any food item attached to it may cause anxiety to get it right. Most people believe diverting from their strict weight loss meals is not the best approach to reach their goal. However, some believe that having a cheat day in a week or a cheat meal once in 7 days is a good idea to stick to their weight loss diet for the rest of the days. But, do you know what can happen to your body if you break your eating rules once a week? Let’s find out.
The effect of a cheat meal or day depends on what you serve yourself on a plate. As per a popular theory, rewarding yourself once a week with something you’ve been dying for keeps your temptation under control and helps you stick to your weight loss diet for the rest of the days. But, this is not true for everyone.
For some people, occasional indulgence becomes a regular binge eating as they are not good at resisting temptation. In addition, there is a set of people who do control their urge to eat anything apart from their weight loss foods during the week except one day but lose count of calories they stuff their stomachs with on just that single day. These kinds of individuals undo their prior weight loss efforts when they end up eating more calories than they should.
Be Smart If You Wish To Cheat
It is important to be strategic if you want to cheat on your meal. Overeating can lead to obesity and can hamper your dreams of getting a lean and thin body. The best way to approach cheat meals is by keeping your meal choices healthy and portions, small. This will be sustainable for the long haul. A few smaller indulgences will give your taste buds satisfaction without sabotaging your weight loss results.
Now, you know the trick. So, go on!
