Hey Girls, I have a question about cheat meals and or days. How many cheat meals do you allow yourselves and what all do you allow yourself to eat? Is having two cheat meals a week too many?
Thank you as always
Lauren
Really depends what those meals are,
I love pancakes, so on Sundays I make homemade blueberry buttermilk pancakes, I don't overindulge, I usually have 2.
For me my cheat meal is usually breakfast, I just love breafast food, Crepes, waffles, u name it I like it..lol
The weekends I do allow myself to enjoy myself a little more, I enjoy a glass of wine with dinner... or if we're going out to have dinner (Which is not often) I'll have some pasta or what ever I'm in the mood for.
So I think the important thing here is portion control, if u have pizza, don't over do it, I find it that if I'm in the mood for something if I make it at home, I can control the quality of the ingredients, I can control the fat content & still satisfy my craving.
Like chinese food, noodles, Thai food, pretty much everything... u can make it and substitute a lot of the ingredients for healthier ones without sacrificing flavor.
So go ahead and have your cheat meal, after a week of hard work, your body will appreciate it

Hey thanks for chiming in Mrs. P! Yes, I understand the need for portion control, so I will allow a cheat meal here or there on the weekends. My absolute FAV is Mexican food, which I could eat daily, no lie
Mmm, blueberry buttermilk pancakes, YUM!
Hope you are doing well!

I'm doing great Lauren.. Thanks
How r u ?
That's one of my favs too !! I love fajitas, tacos, I posted a chicken taco recipe yesterday that's low in fat & is sooo good..
I don't think 1 or 2 cheat meals will throw off track, is all about making good choices.
If you keep your diet where it sould be throughout the week, u can get away with 1 or 2 cheat meals...
Oh man, now your making me think about enchiladas & margaritas !!!!
I think Mr P is gonna have to wear his Mexican hat
tonight & cook me some tacos ..lol
