What’s the best cheat meal you like to eat once you’ve hit a major fitness goal?

Maybe it’s a cinnamon-sugar doughnut (or two!), a double cheeseburger meal, or let’s be honest, maybe it’s a whole bag of chips for dinner?!

Whatever it is, I’m here to tell you that the best cheat meal is NOT to have one.

Now, hang with me, because I’m not saying you can never have a treat, but I want to change your paradigm about how you eat.

One cheat meal often leads to one cheat DAY, and before you know it, you’re binge eating for the whole week. 

But, if you read last week’s blog, the 80-20 rule is a great guideline for how you should be eating everyday. 80% healthy food choices like veggies, complex carbs, healthy fats, etc which leaves 20% left over for treats. This strategy isn’t as restrictive, so you’re less likely to binge eat, especially if you’ve been restricting yourself too much for too long.

In this week’s video, I’m going to help you get past the best cheat meal paradigm to a nutritional strategy that will sustain you in the long run.

You’ll learn:

• How to break out of the all- or-nothing nutritional strategy to a more sustainable one
• Ideas to reward yourself with non-food items when you hit your fitness goals
• How to celebrate in a way that keeps you on track
