#35 Cheat meals Do's and Don'ts

Project My Life with Anthony Monetti

Should I skip a meal after a cheat meal?

In today's 9 min #askmonetti episode, Karen and I discuss what you should do and what you shouldn't do after a "cheat meal".

First, let’s not call you a cheater. The foods we label as good and bad cause us to have an unhealthy relationship with food. And it’s not the foods that are bad or good, it’s the quantity that makes the difference. I mean there are good healthy foods and foods that are not so nutritious. Great t tasting foods don’t have to be taboo and eliminated from your diet.

Furthermore, eat the foods you enjoy in moderation. And if you have a meal that wasn’t in your diet plan and your account for it, it’s ok. You didn’t fuck anything up. However, we hear people skipping their next meal, and even fast the next day to balance out one meal and it's causing more disruption to your weight loss goal.

When your blood sugar is elevated from a high-calorie meal, your blood sugar drops just as quickly soon after. If you do not eat anything for hours after your blood sugar drops to a point where you are physiologically looking for food to raise it back up.

This is the roller coaster many people take themselves on from being scared to eat while feeling guilty most of the time. Also, please consider your mental health when you are constantly in a mental struggle of what foods are good, bad.
