Post-Cheat Day Action Plan

Your going to have a cheat day. It is simply part of dieting and living. Eating a lot during a family BBQ or holiday is often inevitable. There are a few steps you can take for the days after your “cheat day” to ensure your remaining on schedule with your weight loss. Here is how you take full advantage of what your triggered during your cheat.

The First Day: Here, we suggest consuming only healthy protein powder that is mixed with almond milk. Consuming only shakes will facilitate the natural shrinking of your stomach allowing you to get full much more easily in the coming days. You can consume four shakes intermittently throughout out the day, so about one of 180 minutes or so. The consumption of these shake are only effective if they have loads of protein, contain zero artificial sweeteners, and have a low carb-count.

The Second Day: Now it is time to eat five small meals, again spaced about 180 minutes apart. These meals are made up solely of lean protein sources such as turkey, fish, chicken, eggs, low fat cottage-chews, and vegetables. Try to avoid heavier veggies such as corn as we want to avoid starch at this point. Also, fruits are not recommended due to their sugar content. Eating in such a manner to increase your fiber intake will work to cleanse you bloated digested track.

The Third Day: After limiting your calorie intake for forty-eight hours, it is time to start consuming the heavier carbs. However, you should still opt for five smaller meals that consist of lean meats and veggies. But now, you can include about half of a cup of high-energy carbs to a few of these smaller meals. Great sources for high-energy carbs for these meals include beans, sprouted grain bread or pasts, sweet or red potatoes, wild rice, quinoa, and more.

There is also one more important aspect of the third day. For a single one of these smaller meals, you should eat whatever suits your fancy, under one condition. You have to be sure no to overeat. You also should avoid having this splurge meal come right before bedtime.
