Cheating on Your Diet

Most of you know that I am not an advocate of diets. If you're on one here are some tips about cheating that are healthy. One of the reasons that I'm not an advocate of diets is that most people fee deprived on a diet. Your favorite foods are usually not on the diet.

So here is a way to make it work for you. Make it occasional. One of the better things I ever heard was to take 1 day a week when you eat whatever you want to eat. Thisis the day to eat your favorite foods.

When you have a craving for ice cream, eat the real thing. Stick to brands that are just sugar, cream, and milk. Don't go for the low fat options, eat real ice cream. If your head is telling you it is OK to eat this, then you are less likely to eat the whole carton. You'll be happy with a small bowl.
