Should I eat it?

[Anonymous]

I had put on weight because of the holidays and all, but now I have to like get proper in shape and all. So I have totally stopped eating bread and pizza and burgers and French fries and all. So it's been like 1-2 weeks. Anyways there is this limited edition thing in my fav cake/ cupcake. So there is this Nutella macroon and red velvet cupcake so should I have it? And I will exercise, so is it fine?

The size of the macroon and the cupcake is little smaller than the normal size, they aren't the mini ones but like little smaller than normal size.

If you want to lose weight as quick and safe as possible, then no, you should not eat it. Losing weight is one of those things that requires a substantial amount of sacrifice. There's always a special on donuts, or a buy 1 get 1 free pizza, or today only 12 patty death burger free one per customer. If you excuse yourself for stuff like that, then you'll always be overeating. I've lost 100 lbs myself and kept it off, and it's 80/20 diet/exercise. The diet part is essentially eating as little as possible without hurting yourself. An overweight person, according to me doctor, can easily survive on about 500 calories a day, though most diets recommend twice that. I have a very hard time eating only that much. What I do is have a snack as breakfast, another snack as lunch, and then a regular dinner, with coffee throughout the day. It never get's easy, but the first week is 100 times worse than the days after it. It's sort of like a diet hell week. If you can get through that, you essentially have it. But that means no excesses for that week. Cheat once, and it resets, because, life is unfair that way. Good luck!

This is bad advice

Live life. Indulge in some sweets and junk every once in awhile.

The healthy and HAPPY people, don't live by excessively strict diets.

Eating fatty foods is the problem. You can't eat crap and then exercise and expect to lose weight. Changing your diet has a much bigger effect on your weight than any amount of exercise, so you would be setting yourself back by eating it.

It's ONE cupcake a week and it is a limited edition item... if she adjusts her cal intake for it, I don't see the problem.

[shadowlegend]

If it's extra calories then she is setting herself back. Its far better not to eat it then it is to work twice as hard to work it off. Any dietician or personal trainer will tell you that.

You'll be fine. Assuming you modify your daily intake to account for the calories in that cupcake.

If you've been on a good regime the last couple of weeks just once shouldn't hurt, if you get right back in track. but if you're concerned you can always freeze it and eat it in a few weeks.

But starving yourself isn't the way. Eating healthy and exercise is the way to lose weight. The people who do crazy diets or eat next to nothing *always* gain it back because it screws with their metabolism.
