Being realistic is a quality that successful people often don't possess.
I mean, look at the rich and successful. Many of them developed an idea that, at the time, wasn't very realistic. But they pressed on and made a vision a reality.
Your fat loss success is very similar, except for the realistic part.
Staying true to a long term nutrition plan requires discipline mixed with some relaxing moments.
Those relaxing moments I'm talking about are those meals where you eat what you want and enjoy the 'treat' you are having.
At Intrafitt bootcamp, we call them Cheat Meals.
Cheat meals are ok if they are planned events and are had no more than once a week. They are the relief and weekly reward for eating supportively for the entire week.
But cheat meals are not a guarantee, they are a priveledge.
If you do not eat clean and supportive through the week, that doesn't mean you automatically get to have a cheat meal.
That is if you want to get anywhere with your results.
For long term, cheat meals are a necessity. We all have events, parties, gatherings, and other social outings that we enjoy. And that doesn't mean just because we are trying to change our lifestyle, that these have to be sacrificed.
Plan for them, utilize your cheat meal around them.
Most importantly, make sure you jump back on your supportive nutrition plan the very next meal you eat after your cheat meal.
By automatically doing this, you ensure that you will continue eating supportive for long term.
And consistency is most important when looking for results.
So, go ahead, have your slice of heaven.
And do so with your goals in mind.
