Sticking to a good menu Monday through Friday is great, but Saturday and Sunday can’t be cheat days where one breaks every maxim of healthy eating one is adhering to on the weekdays. Even if one is around temptation while out with family and friends, go for as good as one can manage for what one eats. If one relaxes some of one’s dieting rules sometimes, that’s fine; but bend them a little, don’t shatter them into shards. Remember, it’s one’s diet and one’s health; so own it and stick to one’s goal.
Key Takeaways:
- Sticking to one’s diet during the week, but binge eating guiltily on the weekends, can leave one going backwards instead of making progress.
- Even when it’s good and healthy food on one’s plate, portion control is key to achieving dietary goals.
- One’s diet, and what one eats when one can’t pick the ideal food, doesn’t have to be perfect; but one should aim for as good as one can get.
