CHEAT MEALS..goooooooood tuesday morning..nope not even thinking about a cheat meal..but my nutritionist was explainin to me that as time passes a good thing to do is have a one meal cheat..i told her at this time i was happy eating what im eating..not even thinkin about cheating..really in the right mind set for a change...

was asking about chinese for my sister as her birthday is coming up and she an friend are gonna have a birthday meal...this was her response..


Ok, the down-low on Chinese. We eat there sometimes as our cheat meal. Unfortunately, I love Chinese! We select anything that is the not-breaded (you have to be able to see the meat), anything that isn't in a sweet sauce, and anything that does NOT have noodles or a cream sauce (their cream sauces have sugar). I call it a cheat meal....because the oils are bad, there is tons of bad-sodium, and I'm sure there are many chemicals and additives. We are always slightly swollen and bloated the next day. If it doesn't sabotage the rest of Sandy's days....then I would say this could be her cheat meal....if she wanted, she could eat anythings there, called a dirty cheat.

Remember, after your 10 days....every 7 days, you want to have a low-fat, high carb 30-60 meal to reset your leptin levels. Without the cheat, burning fat is slower. I always avoid dirty cheats because it throws me off for days....I crave all the crap, again. My husband is good....he can dirty cheat and still get right back on the wagon. Me, not so much! Lol! Clean cheat...means for 1 meal, you eat the approved foods, just less fat and way more carbs. A dirty cheat...means for 1 meal, you eat whatever you want. This switch-a-roo is ONLY for 1 MEAL a week.


Instead of a cheat meal...call it a weekly "reboot meal". You do not have to go crazy. Just have clean carbs and less fat for---one meal, each week. It could be as simple as, 2 bananas added to a shake as an evening snack or part of your meal. I suggest to do the "reboot meal" in the evening....because you will get tired. Lol!

Ok, so before your reboot meal.....2 things....make sure you workout that DAY OF your reboot meal...AND then, the DAY AFTER. DO NOT weigh yourself the next morning, after a reboot meal....give yourself one day.

thought i would put this in my journal today..most of you already know the above..but i think from time to time we forget the basics..kinda fall off the great routine we was in..get sidetracked..or old habits get the best of what we set out to do..like anything food if not controlled is an addiction or i know it was for me..it was a buddy ..not a great buddy..

the plan is to ride today..didnt ride yesterday took my monday off..something that when you get in the habit of getting some form of movement its hard to take those much needed days off..but something you body needs to heal..

well..my tea is waiting for me..then in couple of hours breakfast..hopefully by then my motivation to get on trainer will drop by an get me up an moving for my workout..would like to have another day like sunday an get 25 plus..but gonna have to get my riding shorts to fit just right or my butt wont be happy for very long..lol...

HAVE A GREATTTTTTTTTTTTT DAY...DONT GET IN THAT HABIT OF SITTING ALL DAY..ITS BAD FOR YOU...even though you enjoy it...

Cheat meals? Resets Leptin levels? I don't know about all that. I think at this point in your weight loss journey there should be ZERO cheat meals. That's my thoughts though. If you are going to do this don't choose trigger foods.....meaning don't choose something that you are going to binge on if you get your hands on it. What are these so-called approved foods?

not gonna have a cheat meal..gonna boast my bannana intake for that day in my protein shake...email from nutritionist ... Almost....it depends how many bananas you already use. For your reboot/cheat meal, you want to add at least an additional 40-60 carbs (typically 2 medium bananas has 60 carbs). If you are doing a half-banana now, then once a week.... add the other half, plus 1 more whole banana i eat 1/2 bananna with my shake after a workout...so when i decide to cheat..im gonna increase for one meal an then back into my habit im in now
