We all want to lose weight. We all want to drop some 30 pounds and regain our glory years, when we could run through the surf at the beach with nothing jiggling, no tires or bellies and love handles. We want to be slim and beautiful forever, but how to achieve it? Many of think that the only way to lose that weight that we've packed on over the last ten years is to go on an extreme diet, measuring every calorie, weighing out every portion of food, and being as hardcore as possible. However, that kind of diet will often result in your breaking it at some point, and then abandoning it altogether. Why is that, and how can a 'cheat meal' be the right approach?
One of the reasons extreme dieters fail their plans to lose 30 lbs in as few days as possible is because they leave no room for error, for slipping up, for being human. Consequently the question becomes not 'if' they will break their diet, but 'when'. At some point, whether it's at a party, three in the morning or at a bar, they'll break their extreme diet and suddenly all those repressed cravings will come running to the fore, and they will eat every cookie in the house. Feeling worthless, they abandon their diet altogether, and that's the end of their weight loss attempts.
However, by introducing the idea of a cheat meal, you can avoid this fate. A cheat meal is exactly what it sounds like: a meal that breaks all your dieting rules. If you're on a low fat meal, maybe it includes french fries and pizza. If you're on a low carb diet, maybe you can guzzle all that bread and pasta you've been craving. Whatever it may be, you are allowed to eat it during that one meal.
The benefits are enormous. If you plan for one or two cheat meals a week, it gives you something to look forward to.
Your cravings don't build up like mad and finally overwhelm you, but rather they are given an outlet every week and this allows you to stick to your diet in the long term. Because in truth it's not whether or not you break your diet once in awhile that matters, but whether you stick to it in broad strokes in the long run. Doing so allows you to lose weight, and a cheat meal is the perfect way to accomplish that.
