Should I cheat on my diet?

[Anonymous]

My diet basically is DON'T EAT JUNK. I've been lifting weights, doing Tabatha, cardio, bodyweight and yoga. And I'm trying to lose fat my body fat percentage is about 28%. I've been doing this for three weeks.

Today my little brother made the family suger cookies... and I REALLY want some. But I'm on a diet. But I haven't been vary good about my diet (I had cake at a birthday party, I had some KFC when my family got some for supper) and I feel like if I want to see results I can't but I really want some.

My diet is: I have 3 meals and 3 snacks. Meals I have at least half a plate of veg and at least a quarter protein. And snakes have to be fruit or vegetables.

I recommend making something that's fairly low calorie, nutritious and satisfying like these as a treat

I think the more we eat junk and food like deep fried chicken in unhealthy vegetable fat (with hydrogenated trans fat), our palates and bodies get addicted. I think the more you cheat, the harder it is to resist. I just cut all the crap out.

That's not much of a diet. You need a better diet plan than avoiding bad food. It's like having the diet of "avoiding drugs and crack".

I do have more of a diet then just that I just didn't feel like writing it out.

[John_Doesnt]

Bad foods are bad foods. It's always cheating on a diet to eat junk food.

[Asker]

I know it's bad I'm just saying why after workout?

[Asker]

Sorry ignore that last post

[nala_rawr]

indulging in snacks that aren't that good for u isn't the worst thing in the world. just have some in moderation and then you'll b satisfied, and won't go overboard :)

I think if you genuinely feel like you're eating habits are 85% healthy then you should feel no guilt when the 15% isn't perfect.

Of course you can cheat. Some sugar cookies won't change anything. You sport enough.

your diet sucks. get on the ketogenic diet. you can have KFC daily.

[Josht13]

that's retarded, KFC daily is not healthy for anyone.

[666threesixes666]

@Josht13 the ketogenic diet is also known as "the medical diet."

[Josht13]

you think the word medical gives credit to daily KFC means healthy.

[666threesixes666]

@Josht13 fish is in line with the high fat/ketogenic/medical diet... think japan dude... kfc or gtfo

[SovereignessofVamps]

NO if you cheat you'll cheat every day.

[Fearless_banana]

If you must cheat do it post workout.

[Asker]

Or I could do it before because suger gives you energy.

[Fearless_banana]

No post would be the most optimal time to get sugar in.

[cavmanier]

On the way to the gym, your body would have stored lots of the sugar as fat pretty quickly.

@cavmanier I workout at home, my dad owns a weight rack.

[BelleGirl21]

Cheat days are actually beneficial in diets.

[Josht13]
