#43 Stop cheating on your diet!

A common question we get asked often is “How do I stop cheating on my diet?”

First, stop calling it a diet. The noun definition of “diet” is the kinds of food that a person, animal, or community habitually eat. Also known as food, to keep this as simple as possible.

Second, when you call it cheating you automatically feel a guilty emotion because “cheating” on anything is frowned upon. If you are a person of integrity that is.

And while feeling guilty to eat something you enjoy, you are setting yourself up for a restrictive “diet”. And when you feel restricted you are more likely to be extreme with your food selections. One day, week or month, either you eat really “clean” or you eat like an asshole and completely throw your hard work out the window leading to a potential binge-fest.

Finding balance is key, and discipline will be your solution.
