Thanks, but you should also experiment with what works for you. Let me know what you come up with.

Adam, same as Thanksgiving. Go into it with a plan. If you want to pig out that one day, then pig out. But make sure you stop after that and work your butt off before it.

Hi Israel!

I came across this blog post. I have been starting to read your blog posts from the past weeks. It gives me a lot of insights on my health and fitness. Congrats!

Anyway, Christmas is fast approaching! Any new thoughts and advice on this?

Thanks

Can you get comfort from some other source? something more healthy?

My biggest problem is eating when I’m tired for comfort and eating at night. I get up in the middle of the night and eat all the time. I eat completely for emotional reasons. I want comfort. The problem is that I’m getting fat in the process.

It the same principles. But cheating can help some people get into the mindset of maintaining balance.

You didn’t eat all day, and then you couldn’t finish? That’s strange. Usually when my dad goes to a buffet with me, I don’t eat all day, then end up eating so much I can barely stand up (which isn’t much, since I’m only 215 lbs). Maybe I just work differently or something.

Yea I totally agree with the odd cheat day once in a while, but as some of you have said, you have got to have just the one cheat day , and not let it turn into a cheat week or even month. Because all of your hard work will be down the pan.

Israel,

I’m not sure I agree with the “cheat day”. I just think you should just eat in moderation and enjoy different items throughout the year.

Hope you had a great Thanksgiving.

Amm.. that could work, but i basicly would rather
eat some diet food until dinner.. some people just will eat
and go bad.. they will eat amount of food that you can eat in a week, for them, i suggest not to do as told. but to the people who can eat as much as they need, and not as much as they want.

dont hear me wrong, i am with you with this, but in 1 case, eat as much NEEDED and not as much as WANTED.

thanks.

Well I guess there’s nothing wrong if you cheat for just one day, i think it’s not a big deal at all.

LOL! It’s always exciting to cheat on a diet plan even just for once. You can always go back to the program later on.

I don’t believe in cheat days, I don’t like to think of it as a game that needs “cheating”, maybe I’m a little loose on the rules all the time. As for Thanksgiving, I ate all I wanted and more, could not have done it the next day. I don’t think my appetite came back until Sunday, I was so full.

I totally agree with you. There should be so called “cheat” days when you should eat whatever you want. But I guess the hardest part is to keep your promise and cheat only for one day, not more.

I love your attitude! It really is nice to find someone who is “real” about diet and weight loss! I’m sorry your Thanksgiving food was a disappointment! Doesn’t seem right, does it? Well, Christmas is just around the corner! Maybe you can make up for it then! Take Care!

Another great post Israel, I must say, I started reading your blog as it relates closely to my company’s how to videos, but it has proven to be really insightful across a variety of topics. As one who constantly struggles and does a fair share of binging and purging your tips have helped me more than I can put on paper.

Anyway, our diet videos over at Howcast.com http://www.howcast.com/categories/494-Diet add a fun and funny way to drop some lbs. so if you get a chance I would love to hear what you think

One day is probably not a big issue if you manage to keep it to one day only.

Good luck

I dont know whether to be relieved or laugh!

That was a great post! You are so right, I mean I dont get it when people keep planning and counting calories days ahead of time and then ending up feeling all depressed about it!

Its just one day!
