Cheat meals are killing your progress

I think most of us when we start dieting or weight loss, we automatically result to the “food deprivation” mentality where we only stick to healthy (and usually bland) food.

This mentality will kill your progress.

It will lead us to think that we can have a cheat meal at the end of the week/month but all that is doing is telling your brain that your current way of eating isn’t sustainable and you need a cheat meal as a form of motivational boost. This is unfortunately the reason that most of us put on weight after we lost it.

The way to truly approach it is to eat in a way that you are happy and satisfied with for the long term. Eat in a way where you’re consistently satisfied and not have to resort to a cheat meal to continue dieting.

At the end of the day, the key point isn’t to diet but rather it’s to change your lifestyle and relationship with food.
