To cheat or not to cheat, that is the question.

You may or may not have heard about cheat days when trying to lose weight or keep it off, or as part of a healthy lifestyle.

In this episode, we discuss why cheating may sabotage your weight loss plans and why total elimination may work best. 

That one scoop of ice cream, one bar of chocolate or one cookie can quickly spiral out of control and before you know it, you've finished the whole tub, bar or box of cookies.

While some are able to successfully have cheat days, it doesn't work for others as it is a trigger - sort of like that - one more glass of alcohol.

Here is some researched material on 'cheating':

Hello everyone,

My name is Simmone and I’m a foodie.

My love for food is probably why I struggled with weight gain for many years.

I tried diets, exercise, starving… you name it, but didn’t ever seem to achieve lasting weight loss… until I discovered the secret of adopting a healthy lifestyle.

Once I did, I’ve been enjoying my foodie adventures with tasty, healthy meals – no bland hospital food here.

I’m no nutritionist, personal trainer or psychologist, but as they say, experience is a good teacher, and that’s what I want to share with you – my experiences.

I’d like to share with you tips on how to live your best foodie life, lose weight, keep it off in the long-term and achieve overall wellness and fitness.
