High on Life

140. Should Cheat Meals be Part of Your Weight Loss Strategy?


Listen Later

Today, I dive into the concept of "cheat meals" and why they may be more harmful than helpful for your health journey. Instead of supporting sustainable progress, this mindset often fuels guilt, binge cycles, and toxic diet culture.

Here’s what I cover in today’s episode:
✨ Why the language of "cheating" is problematic.
✨ How cheat meal culture perpetuates guilt and all-or-nothing thinking.
✨ Strategies to reframe food choices as intentional indulgences.
✨ Tips for embracing balance, self-compassion, and flexibility in your diet.
✨ The importance of dismantling diet culture and taking back your power around food.

This isn’t about perfection—it’s about learning how to enjoy food without sabotaging your goals or feeling ashamed.

🎧 Ready to rethink how you approach indulgence and balance? Tune in now!
