HOW TO ENJOY FOODS YOU LOVE NO MATTER WHAT IT IS 🍕
Want to learn how to eat any food you can think of and still make progress?
The beauty of the macronutrient diet lies in the freedom to choose what you enjoy, but it must be done correctly.
The biggest mistake you can make is seeing a food you love, eating as much of it as you want, and then trying to clean up the mess later (I.e., planning the rest of the day around your indulgence).
Not only can an unplanned indulgence send you way over your daily or weekly calories, but this is the most common cause of “dietary guilt.”
If you’ve been tracking your macros consistently and suddenly you get thrown way off track by a cheat meal, it can make you feel like a failure, and it’ll be hard to get back on track. This is dangerous for long term success.
The trick to eating foods you enjoy is planning ahead. If you know that tomorrow night is pizza night, open up tomorrow’s food log, plug in however much pizza you want to eat, and adjust the rest of your day accordingly.
Being proactive about this allow you to go through your day stress-free, knowing you’ll hit your targets even with that added pizza, and you can enjoy your treat without feeling bad.
