One thing I want to get away from is any negative words associated with this type of lifestyle. We already went over that I won't be calling this the diet that you are thinking of. Now I want to eliminate the word, "cheat." If you think of the word cheat it automatically makes you feel guilty. "I cheated." Wow that makes me feel bad. I don't want to feel bad. I am human. I will make poor choices. If you get off track on your meal plan just take it as a loss and move on. Learn from it. Do not make yourself feel bad.
Also, you can (don't say cheat) have what I am calling, "fun meals." Remember that if there is nothing to work for or nothing to enjoy, it will be harder to stay on track. What is your favorite? Pizza or Mexican perhaps? Every week for one meal only, have a fun meal. For example, I have worked hard and stayed on track all week, Saturday night my friends and I are going to eat Mexican and have a huge beer! Yum. Treat yourself. Reward yourself. But remember, don't turn this into an entire day of eating bad. Eat healthy 5 out of 6 meals that day and eat whatever you want for the fun meal. After all you deserve it!
What if I got off track? If you got off track on Monday and you planned on having a "fun meal" on Saturday with your girlfriends, you can't. Sorry, pay the penalty for getting off track. Remember only one "fun meal" per week. Learn from it and move on! :)
