Quick Fat Loss and Fitness – Cheater Cheater, Pumpkin Eater

Ok, so you’ve built a delicious nutritious well balanced diet plan and a killer workout schedule with some cardio exercise in there to beef up your heart and lungs. Congratulations, I bet you’re starting to look and feel awesome!

Are you finding yourself wanting to claw someone’s eyes out as they’re eating pizza and chicken wings while you eat broccoli, asparagus, a plain chicken breast and a little steamed brown rice for the 6497th time since you started this wonderful fat loss and exercise plan?

You’re going to love this……HAVE SOME. Yep, you read that right. Have some wings and pizza. Don’t eat until the restaurant is out of stock on everything that you see, salivate over and crave but have a nice, normal sized helping of this terrible for you but oh so yummy food.

Here are two VERY important tips to consider when you are going to cheat on your plan.

- Don’t whine about it. That’s right….just do it and move on. If you’ve decided to reward your hard work and dedication with a couple slices of pizza and a few wings then do it and don’t feel bad about it.

- Get back on your normal (i.e. new and improved much better for you) meal plan immediately. Don’t’ fall off the wagon and keep cheating.

There are many different views on the whole cheating thing. Some people say to have zero cheat meals until you reach your goal. Others will say have one cheat meal per week or even one cheat DAY per week and yet another group will say to have an “occasional” cheat meal. I say, find a happy medium and pay attention what effect cheating has on you.

There are no two ways about it. Greasy fatty foods, sweets, and carb loaded meals eaten at the wrong times or too frequently will cause weight gain and prevent fat loss. Enjoy them in moderation and track their effect on you.

Myself, I shoot for around 90% clean, healthy eating. That means that if I eat 6 times per day, 7 days per week, about 4 of those are going to be cheats. I make that more strict if my progress goes down.

You don’t’ have to replace a whole meal with a cheat meal either. I have a weakness for soda pop. If I have a soda pop with my lunch, I consider that a cheat.

The bottom line is that you want to keep yourself happy. If you find that having a cheat meal per week keeps you happy enough to keep going to the gym and working hard and you’re getting right back on your clean nutrition plan right after the cheat meal then you’ve found your happy medium and will enjoy the road to fat loss and fitness.
