How To Lose Belly Fat Fast - Avoid This One Common Mistake For Success

To diet and exercise to get in great shape, it requires more mental energy than it does physical energy.

In other words, you are going to have to take control of your mind to let it know that you are living a healthy lifestyle.

Once this is achieved, you would find that hot pepperoni pizza that was once delightful to your eyes, it now does not look that good. If you see this pizza and start thinking about all of the harmful things in it and how that is not good for you or for the person about to eat it, your mind is now that of someone with a healthy lifestyle.

That's where the cheat day phenomenon comes in...

The problem with having "cheat days" is they will eventually end up confusing your mind. If you can not see bad foods as BAD FOODS, you are more likely to give in, even when it is not on your "cheat day". That leads me to the next problem.

A lot of these bad foods (especially foods high in carbs & fat), provides a mental trigger for you to eat more. This is why a lot of people who diet with cheat days....but are not strong mentally...end up relapsing and go right back to their bad eating habits.

So, my point is that if you are going to have a cheat day, make sure that you are mentally prepared BEFORE you start your diet.....or you'll end up like my buddy up top who ate too many candy bars!

I also don't recommend that you have a cheat day for the first two weeks of your diet.....this is the time when you are most vulnerable to break your diet.
