From my experience, if you keep declining yourself stuff like that, you are setting up yourself to fail. Have that pizza, just remember to not go and stuff yourself to the point where you can’t walk because you’re full. Remember to eat slowly too.
you can also just make small modifications to decrease the calorie density of your meals, adding veggies is great.
Also, life hack: you can eat basically as much fruit as you want when dieting, it’s so filling (due to the water and fibre) that you’re almost guaranteed to be full and probably quite sick of it before you consume a ton of calories.
And halfway through your portion, pause and ask yourself “am I still hungry? Is this filling me?”
Check in with ur tummy.
We literally stand up and walk the dog before deciding. Usually we don’t want much if any more.
Everything in moderation. Have pizza, but limit yourself to 2 slices, have a big delicious salad with it (no creamy dressing). Small treats like this is what makes a diet sustainable.
No diet works without cheat days. As long as you don’t have too many and stick to no more than 6 or 7 per week you’ll be ok
That’s my problem I have 8 cheat days a week :( Hard to lose weight that way!
People often forget that there are plenty of low caloric and really tasty food. The problem is that most of the times you must cook it yourself.
Carrots and hummus.
Carrots and hummus have lost me 15 pounds this year so far
Hell yeah!
amen
Healthy habits stack, and maintaining a streak can be a great way to keep good habits going. If that’s what keeps you going, keep doing it!
However, don’t deprive yourself so much that when you do slip up you say “Fuck it” and go on a binge and eat a Taco Bell 12-Pack.
Give yourself permission to eat food you enjoy in moderation, and have a plan in place to prevent a full fall-off-the-wagon moment when you do eat some pizza and tacos.
Screw diet just get a healthier eating habit. You trying to lose weight or trying to eat healthier
My healthy habit is not having money
Ultimate weight lost plan
You severely underestimate my ability to eat shitty food on a budget.
I actually tend to find having cheat days and treats makes me have more cravings and more likely to fail the diet. Maybe I’m just strange.
Damn we stickin’ to diets out here with climate change?
The game with changed when the atmo did for me :/
I’m changing my diet (to have less meat, especially beef) because of climate change
Hang in there, it’ll pay off very well in the end.
For me, sugars and processed foods (grains especially) were an addiction. I see a lot of advice about allowing yourself a “cheat” day now and then but I would advise against it. It’s like telling a drug addict it’s ok to shoot up now and then, or it’s ok for the alcoholic to have a drink on special occasions. Processed foods are harmful to us over time. So while it won’t kill you when you are 20 or even 30, it will catch up with you.
Push through those cravings. They will go away.
