Summary

When we are striving to build the body we want, many of us love to label foods as good or bad, and we drastically restrict ourselves to only eating those "bad" foods once a week as a part of our "cheat meal".

I don't believe there is anything coherently bad about the foods you are eating during your cheat meal, what I think is wrong is the fact that you need to label it as a cheat meal and that you only allow yourself to eat the food you actually want to eat once a week.

This mentality is toxic when it comes to developing a healthy relationship with food and your body.

So in this episode of Embrace Your Real, I share five reasons why I don't believe in a cheat meal in hopes of opening your eyes to how your cheat meal is impacting you. Plus, I share five things you can do instead.
