The post Is it Really Okay to Have a Cheat Day? appeared first on yourdailysportfix.com.
]]>The only reason that celebs and fitness coaches are able to have cheat days (or cheat meals, for that matter) is because they’re exceptionally good at having self-control. They’re able to have their less healthy meal and move on from that pretty smoothly back into their regularly scheduled diet. If you think you’re unable to do that, then perhaps a cheat day isn’t the right move for you.
But another part of it is about not getting discouraged. If you think you’re incapable of controlling yourself, there are certainly ways to improve that. Try experimenting with having cheat meals at different parts of the day, and see where you’re less “triggered” by them. The important thing is to never give up, and believe in yourself!

]]>Achieving a six pack is mission impossible if your diet is rich in foods with high sugar content. That’s why you should try to cut down on sugar-rich drinks and foods such as candy, chocolate, ice cream, soda, sports drinks, and alcohol.
Refined and processed foods also won’t do you any good if you’re trying to get a six pack. You should try to limit your consumption of refined grains including white bread, white pasta, and sugary cereals. Processed meats, such as pepperoni and hot dogs, are also best avoided.
Fried foods have a notoriously high-fat content and you should avoid them whenever possible—not just when you’re trying to build a six-pack. Burgers, fries, and fried chicken are the most popular dishes that fall under this category, and you should prepare them inside an air fryer if you can’t imagine living without them.

]]>This is very important as it tells us about one way to prevent childhood obesity. The study was done using food questionnaires on 443 people who answered questions about the meals and snacks they ate as kids.
They were asked if they used to get food as a reward, if they were pressured to eat, if they got healthy guidance about food, or if they were monitored during meals. People who thought about food as a reward or who were pressured into “cleaning the plate” during every meal tended to eat more sweets, snacks, and other unhealthy items as adults.
People who had “healthy eating guidance,” which the researchers find to be the best practice, consume more fruits and vegetables today as adults. Healthy eating guidance includes actively influencing food behaviors, introducing whole foods, and including kids in preparing food. Preventing childhood obesity is the gateway to living a long and healthy life filled with good habits that many people today lack.

]]>One of the most common reasons why people have problems with digestion is because they eat too fast. Chewing your food properly is the easiest way to improve digestion and nutrient absorption.
People who eat fast also tend to eat more food, which basically means that they are also consuming more calories. Eating your food slowly is a simple habit that can help you reduce your calories intake and maintain a healthy weight.
If you truly love eating tasty food and you want to enjoy your meals to the fullest, then it’s only logical that you should take your time to savor every bite of your favorite pizza or pasta.
Despite the fact that we don’t realize this, rushing through a meal can actually increase stress and make us really nervous. This is why this simple eating habit is not only good for our physical, but also for our mental health.

]]>Loss of appetite can come from many different things like physical or psychological causes. In order to fix the problem, it’s important to determine its root. Loss of appetite is often just a symptom that can’t be fixed without fixing the main thing that caused it.
Sometimes, the reason you don’t feel like eating can be something physical, like a stomach bug. Loss of appetite may be a symptom of various problems, like cold, anemia, diabetes, and even cancer. It’s relatively common as an early pregnancy symptom, too. That’s why it’s crucial to visit the doctor as soon as possible in order to determine the problem behind your loss of appetite.
It’s not uncommon for people to lose their appetite because of various psychological reasons. Conditions like anxiety, depression, and chronic stress commonly cause appetite loss. By treating these conditions, you will likely gain your appetite back.

]]>We often forget that most of the things we drink in a day are high in calories too. Fruit juices and smoothies, that are usually considered healthy, contain lots of added sugar so make sure to watch your intake and reduce the amount of sugar in your drinks.
Preparing your own meals is the best way to gain control over what you eat. Restaurant food may be tasty, but it’s less healthy than we think because it contains lots of fat and sugar that we don’t usually notice.
Studies have shown that people who eat slowly consume fewer calories per meal. This simple trick will not only help you lose weight, but it’ll also improve your digestion and give you time to fully enjoy your meals.

]]>Simple logic dictates that if you eat less, you’ll lose weight, but your body is more complicated than that. Studies suggest that people who skip meals are more likely to be obese, because this slows metabolism.
Let’s be honest, we all do this from time to time. Eating when you’re stressed is bad for your waistline and it can also cause a lot of health problems, so don’t make this a habit.
It takes time for the stomach to tell the brain that you’ve had enough food. That’s exactly why people who eat slowly consume less per meal, compared to people who eat faster.
It’s a well-known fact that associating food and eating with pleasure is not a good thing, because you then eat a lot more than you should. That’s why it’s best to avoid eating in your bedroom, in front of a TV, or while listening to music.

]]>When you first start looking into healthier food options, you may feel deprived. You have certain habits and love certain foods that don’t necessarily have much nutritional value, so it’s important to keep a healthy relationship with food. Healthy foods are important, but so is your ability to relax and eat what you want from time to time without feeling guilty about it.
If you don’t trust yourself to intuitively eat healthy foods most of the time and treat yourself occasionally, you should try the 80/20 rule. Eat “right” 80% of the time and get more relaxed during the remaining 20%.
Once you realize that healthy food is not a punishment tool, but something you need to stay healthy and strong, you will start loving it more and more. It’s hard to deny the good effects it can bring and you need to trust the process until you can see results.

]]>Before you start this and eat lots of salads during the week and then tons of ice cream and fried foods on the weekend, this is not how it works. You need to know what foods are filled with good calories and which have bad calories. Measure the ratio of the number of fruits, vegetables, and nuts that you are consuming with the bad calories of those filled with sugar or high in fat.
Some of the compliant foods for the healthy 80 percent of your diet are; plant-based foods, lean animal protein, whole grains, low-fat dairy, nuts, seeds, and olive oil. And the suggested foods to indulge in for the 20 percent are foods high in saturated fat, highly processed food, alcohol, and white sugar.
Working out the 80/20 rule might take a little bit of math. Before you start this diet you want to write down your weekly intake of food and their calorie amounts. This will give you a baseline of how much you consume over a week. Once you have worked this out you can calculate the calories that make up the 80 percent, including all the meals and the snacks, and then everything else you eat would be in the remaining 20 percent.
It might take a while to get the hang of it but once you know how to do it you will see great weight loss results and it will become a way of life.

]]>Jacket potatoes are full of high-quality slow-release carbohydrates. This means that they will keep giving you more and more energy throughout the day, helping you stay active and energized.
When we think of jacket potatoes, many of us think of hours of baking in the oven. But, you can cook a fluffy baked potato in the microwave in seven minutes. If you want crispy skin, you can still oven bake for 5-10 minutes.
One of the major perks of baked potatoes is that they can go with an enormous array of toppings. You could top with beans and cheese, tuna, fried vegetables, jackfruit, or many more. Not only does this make for delicious and exciting variety, but it also makes it easy to eat a more varied and balanced diet.
You can buy whole bags of potatoes for less than two dollars. Not only are they cheap to buy, but they also can last in the cupboard for some time.
