No Cravings means No Cheat Days

No Cravings Means No Cheat Days

Some people may lead you to believe that cravings are inevitable and that you have to feed these beasts with “cheat days.” But surprise – I don’t crave sugar and I don’t have “cheat” days. There are two reasons for this: Needing cheat days implies a system of deprivation, and my eating approach doesn’t make me feel deprived. Since I eat healthy every day, there is no harm in having something if I really want it but I easily go without treats and here’s why…
One day I realized that certain foods were controlling me plus they would upset my stomach. I became aware of how little these indulgences were actually giving me and that they served no purpose in my nutrition. I stopped cold turkey and it was the best thing I have ever done. Eventually I stopped craving those  things all together. That’s right – the cravings disappeared, so I don’t need “cheat days.” If you want a treat or fatty snack now and then – or even every day – feel free to have it. Just be aware of the consequences and know they do add up fast.
