So you've been disciplined - you haven't eaten too many
Cakes and you're fitness efforts have been rewarded with
health, a firmer body, increased confidence, as well as
energy.
When Can You Eat Your Favorite Cakes? When is the time to
enjoy your favorite foods, Cake, and desserts - without the
following guilt or feeling of regret?
A few years back I went on a 1-week vacation with my
family. This 7 day hiatus from and work and discipline was
the perfect time to break my patterns of healthy eating and
exercise.
I decided to really enjoy myself on this vacation and just
completely relax - I mean all the way (Yes that means Cakes
galore).
I had no problem adjusting to the overeating and lack of
exercise. It was great fun - at least temporarily!! After
following 7 days of this glutinous way of life, Cakes and
candies and pies......
Not only had I graduated to the next size of pants, I had
firmly attached an additional 37 pounds of to my body.
Moral of the story, don't do that. You can eat your
favorite Cakes - just don't over do it.
As a personal trainer this is what I suggest for how to go
about it the proper way.....
Make eating healthy eating and regular exercise the rule in
your life.
As you know there are always exceptions to the rule no
matter the subject matter - and yes this does include
eating and exercise (Even Cakes)..
When you make healthy eating and exercise the rule, the
occasional Cake or other exceptions are not a cause for
vexation. Let me clarify that, if you make fitness your
normal habit, the occasional outside pattern or desert or
treat, such as a birthday cake, wedding cake or even a
party cake, will not ruin your body.
As long as you always come back to the original rule, and
not change the rule as you go along.
Really, a few deserts each week, a few cakes, a few mishaps
and even a couple of missed exercise sessions will not hurt
you, as long as those are the exceptions (The less
frequently visited options).
Say that you eat 28 times a week - 5 meals a day each day
of the week.
If you allow a 10% exception rule that allows for about 3-4
meals of less-than-optimal eating each week, that can be
Cake, desserts, candies, anything you like (in moderation)..
When you engage in an "exception meal", don't eat enough
for the next 3 days worth, just eat the same amount of
calories and portions of food as normal, except this time
it's in the form of your favorite foods or Cakes.
Make a healthy way of life the rule rather than the
exception - and you can enjoy that occasional treat without
a trace of guilt. That is your guide to eating Cake and
staying fit.
