The Cheat Day of each cycle is a day in which you can eat even fattening foods like pizza and ice cream.
You do this to boost your leptin levels and encourage faster fat burning. Leptin is a hormone that’s largely responsible for your metabolism and fat burning. A higher level of leptin means a faster metabolic rate.
The problem with conventional diets is that when you cut your calories, your leptin levels diminish making it harder and harder for you to burn more weight. This happens gradually so 1-2 days of calorie restriction won’t hurt you but as you continue to limit your calories, your leptin levels will plummet.
A Cheat Day every once in a while helps to reset your leptin levels and maintain a high metabolism. It also has excellent psychological benefits as being able to eat “non diet” foods like pizza once every 14 days helps you stick to any diet plan for as long as you need...
1500 isn't that many calories. My guess is that you're splurging on much more. It's ok. But, you're lying to yourself. Your desire to 'splurge' is the problem and always will be. Your dieting will never catch up to your splurging because you continue to value your splurging more and will never put the correct effort into dieting.
You should never go on a 'diet' because that means you will eventually go 'off' the diet and regain all the weight you lost.
You need to eat healthily for the remainder of your life if you want to be healthy.
Don't splurge, because it simply isn't a healthy thing to do.
nope. don't risk it. i always tell myself, "okay, just this one day.." and then i find that the next day, my appetite is out of control and I want to eat just as much as I did the previous day. don't start the cycle my friend. it will psych you out.
You should have a look this program that I use. It works amazing for me and I lost 12 pounds in 30 days. You can get more information here link below.
