It's no secret that most diets don't last in the long run.
That is why yo-yo dieting is a common occurrence among many people because they have tried and failed diet after diet.
The biggest reason is because diets are typically too restrictive.
In order to follow a diet plan, you are told what you can eat and what you can't.
Many diets also don't allow you to eat your favorite foods.
Your cravings are pretty much off limits.
If you are going to lose weight, you have to follow the diet you've chosen without straying no matter how tempted you are.
Can you see how this causes people to cheat? It is human nature to want what you can't have and food is the easiest thing to cheat with.
The problem is that most dieters will cheat and then become frustrated for cheating and give up on their diet all together.
Why continue when you've already cheated? Eating healthy and losing weight shouldn't have to be that way.
No one should have to feel guilty for eating what they want.
The key is eating your cheat foods at the appropriate time.
In the long run, you will not crave these foods as often as you normally do when you allow yourself to indulge in them.
One popular way to eat your cheat meals is one day a week (usually on the weekend) and eating everything that your body craves whether it is salty, sour, sweet, or spicy.
Indulge and then get back to your healthy routine the next day for the rest of the week.
When you have your cheat day to look forward to, chances are you will stick to eating healthy the rest of the week with very little problems.
