Is it more expensive to eat healthy?

I have always bought into eating healthy is more expensive. I realise this is a blatant lie.

When this idea is in your head, and fast food prices seem cheap, you will automatically buy cheap junk food which removes the inconvenience of cooking.

These days, we are all in a rush to live. Things need to move fast, and this means we don’t feel we have those extra few minutes it may take to prepare an inexpensive, healthy meal.

Calorie-dense foods fill us up for longer than a healthy meal, and this is one thing which makes junk food so appealing.

What I think of intermittent fasting.

I have been following an Intermittent fasting plan for a while, but stuck to it rigorously during this past month. I have hit a weight plateau, and can’t seem to break through it.

I am following an 18:6 plan-18 hour fast with a 6 hour feeding window. I eat between 12pm and 6pm every day, and that is it. I may stray once or twice because of life, but I try to be very rigid with these times. Fasting falls in line with the best diet ever created-eat less.

What to do when you hit a weight loss plateau.

One of the most demotivating things on a diet is hitting a weight loss plateau, and your body refuses to lose weight for weeks on end.

I am at that point now.

The immediate thought is ‘My body is telling me it has reached optimal weight, so I can stop dieting now.’

Immediate reaction is to go on a food binge and then not check my weight for months and realise I have gained back all the weight I put so much effort into losing.

Is a cheat day a good option while dieting?

Can you have cheat days on a diet?

Yes, if you want to be unsuccessful.

The more important question is what you put forward as justification?

There is only one thing which makes you cheat on a diet, and that is internal influences.

There are no external influences which force you to have a cheat day or go on a food binge.
