Whenever people try to adhere to incredibly strict diets, desperate to lose some fixed amount of weight, whether it's ten or thirty or fifty pounds, they often find the cravings building up, dreaming of incredible snacks and fatty foods, resulting in an inability over the long term to restrain themselves and an inevitable breakdown during which they eat almost everything under the sun, a break that then causes them to end their diet altogether since they then feel worthless thereafter and see no point in continuing their diet. Here instead are some guidelines on how to successfully navigate the dangers of an extreme meal, using a cheat meal to blow off some steam and prevent yourself from plummeting into the depths of despair.
A cheat meal allows you to release that pressure that builds up over time during an extreme diet, such that instead of exploding into an orgy of forbidden food feasting you take constant nibbles of what you desire without breaking your diet. A structured cheat meal can be something to look forward, and the knowledge that it's coming down the road can help you be stronger in the face of immediate temptation. However, some people take cheat meals as an excuse to pig out like the worst of piggies, eating everything in sight as they shriek their desire and excess to the world. No! There is a correct way to do this, and here are some guidelines to steer you straight.
First of all, don't eat those cheat meals at home. By going out to a restaurant you will find yourself limited by not only your budget but by your modesty, after all, it takes a special kind of dedication to order and eat three desserts all by yourself with your waiter watching. That sort of attention can help you restrain yourself and keep things in check. Further, it's a good idea to make your cheat meal a dinner because it can be really hard to go back to your diet after a cheat breakfast or lunch. Finally, you should refrain from weighing yourself the next morning, because a binge in carbs could result in a weight spike that could throw you off.
So there you go, there are some good tips on how to add a cheat meal to your diet without breaking the bank or your scale. Just eat in moderation, eat out, eat at dinner, and avoid the scale the next morning. Simple and easy.
