So I'm on exante so pretty much the same, I have a treat a lot of trainers say don't say cheat as otherwise you give yourself an unhealthy mindset usually on a Saturday morning. Stops me binging or craving everything. In 3 weeks I have lost 14 inches overall on my body.

So I have very complicated medical issues which means I lose weight incredibly slowly A lot of people lose a lot more but i find slowly off means less likely to put it back on quickly.
Hi All Hope you're having a good week? SEssex Active member. Morning, what is your typical daily routine with these products? I started on Monday on 1b x. SEssex said:. I tend to have Smoothie - 8. Dontmissmuch said:. It may sound counterintuitive to your weight loss goals, but measured diet time-outs could actually be the key to long-term success. A study published in the Journal of Consumer Psychology supports the morale boosting potential of diet deviations. Researchers tested the psychological benefits of cheating by asking participants to imagine a calorie diet or a calorie diet with a calorie cheat at the end of the week.
Participants who imagined the end-of-week splurge were more determined to resist temptation, despite being on a stricter diet plan. A good strategy is to set yourself some predefined limits — like a small bowl of ice cream after dinner — and stick to it. Caveat: Just started a new weight loss plan? Consequently, your diet and motivation can come unstuck. Nevertheless, cleaning up your diet and sticking with a food plan that makes you feel good certainly can't hurt. And if you fall off the wagon, don't waste time feeling guilty and depressed.
Simply make yourself a green smoothie and climb back on. Eating a diet high in sugar and fat will certainly put you at higher risk for diabetes over time, but what about one cheat meal? Something as small as going out for a few beers with friends can actually affect your diabetes risk.
According to a study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition , when we drink a beer our blood sugar levels go up, but our insulin levels do not.
Usually our insulin rises with our blood sugar to keep it at a steady level, but the beer inhibits the insulin response. This means that one beer could potentially lead to a high blood sugar level without our body being able to bring it down right away and high blood sugar levels lead to complications including diabetes. If you do decide to meet your friends for a drink, make sure to drink plenty of water and turn down the sugary snacks on the table. Much like with diabetes risk, I had always assumed that a lifetime of eating a poor diet would put you at higher risk for heart disease, but it turns out that it doesn't take a lifetime — just one high-fat meal could send you over the edge to a heart attack.
A study by the American Heart Association described the higher incidence of heart attacks on Christmas day and New Year's Eve, presumably because people are eating large meals full of rich foods. Holiday stress could certainly contribute too, but the foods are definitely a factor. A study in the Journal of Nutrition found that after eating one high-fat meal, your heart will not react to stress as well as it normally would.
Your heart will actually have to work harder. So when your drunk uncle starts talking politics after Thanksgiving dinner, rather than getting fired up and arguing, just walk away. Your heart can't take it! Cheating on your diet could be a split second decision, but that decision could lead to some major complications.
A study in the American Journal of Cardiology found that a single high-fat meal can affect how our blood vessels work. Blood vessel function was impaired when study participants ate a fatty meal, but unaffected with they ate a low-fat meal.
A separate study in the Canadian Journal of Cardiology had the same findings with high-fat meals. Researchers also asked participants to eat a Mediterranean-type meal, which is also high in fats, but healthy fats like fish and nuts. After a Mediterranean meal, study participants did not have the impaired blood vessel function that they showed after eating a meal high in saturated fat. In addition to affecting your blood vessels, a high-fat "cheat" meal can change your blood pressure too.
A study from Cambridge University found that a high-fat meal can cause your blood pressure to go up after eating it. However, when participants ate healthier fats, their blood pressures actually went down after eating.
Even though there are plenty of possible complications from cheating on your diet, chances are that one cheat meal will not affect your health in the long-term. Perhaps that is why so many health professionals support cheating once in a while.
