Hello and welcome to another episode of the Chris Terrell podcast. If you knew here,

my name is Chris Terrell. After a lifetime of battling my weight with constant yo-yo dieting

up and down, I finally decided that I had had enough,

and I decided to change my life. And I lost 125 pounds in the process of doing so. Took me two and a

half years to do that. It was slow. It was steady. There was a lot of mistakes in the process.

And I wanted to share as much as I've learned

with you. So join me here every Friday for a new episode of the Christdrell podcast. And with that,

let's jump into it today. Today, I want to talk to you about an interesting topic. It's a topic

of cheat meals. Cheat meals on a weight loss journey. Have you ever

thought about cheat meals? I'm actually asked about that a lot. It is not unusual in a live

stream for someone to say, hey, what are your thoughts on cheat meals? And I often brush it

aside, the answer, because I just don't want to talk about it at length

on a live stream. And, but I thought, you know, why don't we take a podcast episode and really

dig in to cheat meals and why I don't like them and why I don't think you should either. But I

don't want you just to take me at face value here. I do not

want you to do that. What I want you to do is to just come into this podcast episode with an open

mind. Just say, you know what? I'm not going to make any decisions or any conclusions. I'm just

going to hear the guy out. And then after I've done hearing him, I'll decide what I think then.

I want you to come to your own conclusion. Take the bits that work for you and discard the

rest. That was something one of my mentors told me. He said, look, if I ever say something that just doesn't work for you, don't throw out the other five bits that do. Just take those five and discard the ones that don't. It's not going to offend me any. And I'm here to tell you the same thing. If you take some piece of what I share. I'm like, that doesn't work for me. And discard it. It's not going to

offend me. Totally okay. I'm just honored I was able to help you with the two or three bits. It did help you on your journey. Now, before I dive too deep into the topic, you know what I'm about to tell you. You need to come to my Facebook group if you're not already in a part of that group. It's a wonderful group. Well, over 3,000 people at this point now,

and it's a wonderful group.
