#34 How cheat days fuel weekend binges [& how to start breaking the cycle!]

Listen Later

Have you ever felt the need to cancel plans so you wouldn’t be tempted by non-diet-friendly foods, only to inevitably binge?

It’s not uncommon to hear that clients do “good” all week long with their “clean eating” diets and then mess up on the weekends, completely “losing control” of their willpower just to say no [is it really about willpower, though?].

No worries, friend. I can relate. I used to do the same thing. However, I learned how to break the restrict/binge cycle, and you can too.

On this episode of the pod, I’m taking a look at the use of cheat days, the idea and intention behind them, and how they can be fueling the very thing you’re hoping to avoid–the cravings, uncontrollable appetite, and binge eating!
