Diets and "cheating"

[strongsmartsexy]

I find the notion of cheating interesting. Everyone is on a diet. Some diets are good, and others are very bad with a range in between.

You'll ALWAYS be on a diet. The quality of your diet will determine the outcome. If you're going to have a "cheat day/meal/week" whatever, just make sure it's part of your overall "diet" plan.

a diet should be a way of life, not just temporary, as that is what your results will be.

I have a cheat day, where I allow myself to eat good carb sources freely. And within that day is a cheat meal where I eat whatever I want. Happens every saturday.

But cheating with junk food is soooooo gooooood

my cheating usually ends up being alcohol.


Sucks because then I don't get to cheat w/ food...oh well it's the price ya gotta pay

Maybe instead of calling it "cheating" it should be called "cheating oneself"?

I dont necessarily cheat. I've convinced myself that foods such as fast food/junk food are bad and shouldn't be eaten no matter what. So I have no desire to "cheat" ... oh shit, forgot about alcohol ........

Once you have obtained your goals, if you want to "cheat" once per week, you should be fine. Just remember cheat is not binging...just have something you normally would not or if you have a special occasion (birthday, wedding, etc, etc) you should not limit yourself to what you can have.

And do not think of it as a diet (most see this as temporary)--think of it as a way of life.
