Is a cheat meal not for me? help?!
Question: Is a cheat meal not for me? help?
So i'm 100 pounds and 5'2 i'm an athlete. and i do try to get to the gym 4-6 days a week... i stick to a very healthy diet i dont drink ANY pop never fast food and rarely even processed food. The only thing i might eat thats processed is luna bars. I eat whole grains low fat yogurts and cottage cheese fish grilled chicken veggies and tons of fruits natural peanut butter etc.. I try to incooperate a cheat meal into my diet ... but it seems like it always turns into eating more then what i plan or even a binge.(I know not good) is a cheat meal not the way to go? Instead my sister said to have a "relax weekend" where i still eat my healthy foods but dont restrict so much and have that peice of cake if i want. Or she said just when you have a craving during any time of the week EAT it then leave it and it might prevent a future binge. How should i go about this? thanks since i'm not trying to loose weight.. actually gain lean muscle.. she said i could relax more and not be so strict about everything is this true? help!
Answers:
She is absolutely correct,if you crave a chocolate just have it,you know you gonna burn it off anyway and it does prevent future binges as your craving has been satisfied.
Your sister is very wise.
