Hello guys i got a question that wondering me a lot. im 19 y.o. and i went diet 6 weeks ago..i was like 257 lbs in the first place..now my weight is about 218 lbs (course i did support it with weight and cardio exercise)
im gonna keep doing it till i got 170 lbs but im craving for fastfood a lot these days. i was highly addicted to fastfoods before starting the diet. and when im starting it i just cut out from them and never ate cheatmeal or something i went strong with my diet. Now here is my question; is that okey to make cheatday for just tomorrow? im thinking eat litteraly everything for the day..
Some people can handle a cheat day now and then, but it sends others on benders that last for weeks.
Suggestion: fry a bunless cheeseburger at home (assuming this is what you're craving). Peel and slice a potato and eat it raw with some sour cream. Add lettuce, tomato, onion. Salt to taste.
Your diet needs to be something you can live on, and live with, indefinitely.
After months of eating smaller portions (and losing 35 lbs.) if I ate a bunch of favorite foods in a single day(Burger King Whopper w/cheese, pizza, chips, bread) I would be so sick with indigestion! Instead I let myself have a favorite once a month or every other month. It’s enough to satisfy me. Yesterday I had a fast food cheeseburger. Won’t have another for several weeks.
i think you are right..im gonna eat just burger for this cheat day and if i can, im gonna do it myself as sheerbliss said.
thanks for your congrats and advise
The specific meal I described is full of essential nutrients, shouldn't set off any blood sugar swings that can make you hungry later, and shouldn't set off any cravings. Enjoy!
If you're craving for fast food then your diet plan will ultimately fail. You will end up losing focus and splurge and weight will go back up again. That is not a good diet plan if you have cravings.
When I started the keto diet, I didn't cheat at all because I didn't have any cravings anymore. I only cheat one day cause I felt like having the enjoyment of ice cream but didn't crave for it.
See my difference is I enjoyed the comfort of ice cream but I didn't "crave" for it.
I"ve stuck to a lower carb diet (about 100g per day) now for about 10 years. One or two SMALL fast food meals per week with a SMALL soda. Still able to maintain the 40+ lbs. I lost.
