However, cheat days should also be careful, otherwise once a week will make you form a habit, which will have an impact on the speed of weight loss and physical health.

One, what is a cheat meal?

The so-called cheat meals are also known as high-calorie, high-fat foods i.e. high carb, high calorie, high protein foods. There are a lot of people who are on such diets during weight loss for the most part. Dietary adjustments while losing weight, there is a desire to eat high calorie foods every day because they are delicious. However, prolonged high-calorie foods can easily lead to weight spikes.

I, myself, was home for over a month this spring. The seventh day of the year, weighing 130 pounds. On the tenth day of the year, I started a weight loss program and lost 12 pounds in 14 days.

For two whole weeks, I lost weight just by eating two meals a day and jumping rope 3000 times. Two buns, an egg and a cup of coffee in the morning. A couple pieces of beef jerky and a plate of greens for lunch. A cup of yogurt and an apple in the afternoon. No more food after 4pm.

And just like that, lost weight. Lost 12 pounds.

After two weeks, I slowly began to return to my normal diet. Three meals a day, still jumping rope every other day. It's been over a week now and still maintaining the slimmed down weight.

In fact, it doesn't matter if you indulge one day a week. The question is, if you indulge in that one day, will you indulge in every next day. Human desires are like flood beasts; once the floodgates are opened, it is very difficult to collect them.

I have lost weight in the past. Also used this method I mentioned above and lost weight quickly. But after keeping it for half a year, it started to rebound again. This is related to my indulgence, no exercise, and eating and drinking. It's strange that I'm not fat.

In fact, it's easy to lose weight, be ruthless and starve for two weeks. But to maintain, it is difficult. It requires strict self-discipline and persistence.

Back on topic. Weight loss is a constant battle. If say, you exercise and control your diet six days out of the week. It doesn't matter at all if you indulge on that remaining day, there is nothing to fear. What is to be feared is one indulgence at a time, followed by another.

Yes, weight loss is commonly thought of as weight loss. In fact, fat loss is the real weight loss.

Losing weight is a process, not something that can be accomplished in a few days. And we need to develop a sensible and healthy routine. Learn weight management.

I just lost 30 pounds in 2 1/2 months with scientific nutritional guidance. Now learning weight management, my weight has been around 158.

Weight management is important

Thanks for the invite. hahaha

During the weight loss period we have a special craving, so can we eat a cheat meal? Of course you can, but be careful not to be too ordinary, once a week so on the line. That cheat meal how to eat it?

What is a cheat meal?

A cheat meal is a high-calorie, high-carb meal that is not on the daily diet (low-fat, low-carb), but that people who are exercising and eating a controlled diet enjoy, usually for one meal a week. This is also commonly referred to as an "indulgence meal". This is when you eat a low-fat, low-energy diet for a few days and then indulge yourself with a high-energy, high-carbohydrate meal.

Everyone has their own desires, don't suppress yourself too much, occasionally eat on our weight loss is helpful, can make us lose weight better oh. That after eating a diet meal we have to do?

Cleanse the intestines! After we eat high oil and high sugar food, the next day weighing the weight must be a little up, this time must keep a good mindset, eat is eat, we do not need to regret, love to eat is human nature!!!!

We can just go back to our normal eating habits , and to get back to before faster, you can eat less carbs and drink more water for the first three days, and in less than three days, hey, hey, hey, there's a chance that the weight will be lighter than before!

My personal experience is like this, I occasionally eat something I want to eat , but after I eat it I still have to continue to lose weight oh ∀⊙!

Attached are low-calorie foods you can eat for a cleanse 😃😃😃😃😃! 😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃

This can have, but you eat how much you have to exercise to consume how much, you think ah, vegetarian for a few days, fat cells are starved to run, you suddenly let go to eat a bunch of high sugar, high fat, high calorie things, this fat cells have to think, I can not run ah! It turns out to endure a few days to have a good thing to eat, I have to hold out ah, I have to insist on ah! So by then most of the fat resides down! Cheat day can have, eat, you have to think of exercise consumption, to consume all these calories, can not let the fat cells beautiful! Remember, you want to be capricious, you have to pay! Otherwise weight loss is bullshit and you have cheat days every day!

I think it should work, wouldn't it be boring to keep going every day of the week? Proper relaxation is also desirable, and the muscles all have memories, so once they have formed a memory, a little more persistence on your part should do the trick. I'm not sure if you're going to be able to do that.

It is best not to, weight loss must be adhered to, perseverance will be effective, weight loss itself is a difficult problem to overcome, the need for a strong heart and perseverance, if you give up once a week to cheat day, it is in self-deception, so that they have a lazy reason just! Want to figure more and more good friends, self-discipline is the only way to success, refueling Oh 💪!

It's okay.

The first time I went to the gym, I took a body fat percentage test and was around 115 pounds with a body fat percentage of almost 30. As a girl, this is a very high body fat percentage. All because I love to eat junk food and all kinds of fried and greasy food. So when I made up my mind to lose weight, it was very painful. The trainer told me that you can eat once a week, because if you keep suppressing your desire to eat, the result will be counterproductive.

Scientific studies have shown that during fat loss, a person's basal metabolism is greatly reduced after a prolonged period of low-calorie eating, and that paper-cutting meals with no calorie restriction will increase a person's basal metabolic rate, thereby maintaining efficiency.

Fat cells break down a substance called leptin. This substance regulates the balance of fat metabolism in the body. When the cells have enough energy, they will suppress the appetite to avoid overeating. However, when people lose weight, due to a long time of low calorie diet, to keep the body leptin secretion is too small, the calorie consumption gradually reduced, thus entering the plateau period, affecting the effect of fat loss. And high-calorie cheat meals can stimulate the body to secrete sufficient leptin to ensure fat loss calorie consumption and sustained fat loss.

But it's worth noting that there are conditions to watch out for when eating cheat meals

  1. Drink plenty of warm water every day to keep your body's metabolism normal on the one hand, and to reduce hunger on the other.
  2. Eat plenty of foods with lots of fiber such as grains. It can make your body feel full. Get plenty of high quality carbohydrates and protein.
  3. Exercise does a combination of aerobic and anaerobic. After an adequate warm-up, you can do anaerobic training followed by 15 to 30 minutes of aerobic exercise.

Losing weight still requires persistence! Self-discipline is important

Weight loss is a long and difficult process, in the weight loss period, you need to strictly control the diet, less salt and oil, light mainly, extreme self-discipline, to ensure that the intake of calories is lower, but long-term this will inevitably feel boring, it is difficult to adhere to, coupled with weekly training, the body's energy consumption is very large, every time the sweat, the loss of physical fitness is also serious, and sometimes the accumulation of lactic acid will also cause muscle soreness, so the body is more difficult to resist the The temptation of food, so self-discipline in the weight loss period is not an easy thing. But the body is often in a state of fatigue is not good, need to go to rest, to give the muscles enough time to recover, so that you can better put into the next training, to better state to complete the training effect is also good, it is recommended that you can rest 1-2 times a week. In addition, diet, in the case of a good workout, a week can be an indulgence, as a reward for the efforts of the previous period, eat some of their own want to eat, like to eat, but try not to be too much, do not overeat, moderation is good. This will not cause too much energy accumulation, the body's physical recovery is also favorable, but also will give fat loss increased motivation, no longer so boring, easier to adhere to!
