3 Healthy Cheat Meal Tips To Safely Enjoy Your Favorite Foods Guilt-Free
Guilt-Free Cheat Meals
On today’s episode of Live Lean TV, I’m sharing 3 healthy cheat meal tips to safely enjoy your favorite foods guilt-free.
A lot of our clients and viewers are anxious when it comes to enjoying an occasional cheat meal.
It’s Cheat Meal Night
What do you think we got for our cheat meal night?:
- Burgers
- French fries
- Potato chips
- Donairs
- Donuts
Could it be any more obvious?
We got a pepperoni pizza from Whole Foods.
It’s honestly been my favorite pizza in LA.
Since it’s Whole Foods, maybe it’s a little bit healthier than other pizzas?
Probably not.
I don’t know really know.
3 Healthy Cheat Meal Tips To Safely Enjoy Your Favorite Foods Guilt-Free
Here are 3 healthy cheat meal tips to safely enjoy your favorite foods guilt-free.
#1. Add A Side Of Vegetables For Micronutrients
Before we eat pizza, we like to “healthify” it up by adding arugula to the top of the pizza.
These greens adds a little bit of micronutrients to our cheat meal.
Unlike what some people think, including the American school system, pizza is not a vegetable.
#2. Consume Protein Before Cheat Meal
In addition to adding vegetables to the pizza, I also like to drink a protein shake, as it allows me to consume a decent amount of protein before eating the pizza.
#3. Supplement To Breakdown And Reduce Absorption Of Carbohydrates [OPTIONAL]
Experiment with a carb blocker.
I’ve been taking Alpha Lipoic Acid and White Kidney Bean Extract capsules.
I also have a powder version of Alpha Lipoic Acid, however I prefer the Alpha Lipoic Acid capsules since the powder tastes disgusting.
Alpha Lipoic Acid and White Kidney Bean Extract are supposed to help metabolize the carbohydrates when eating a high starchy meal, like a pizza.
Take it 20 minutes before a high starch meal.
However, as with any supplement, use it at your own will, and see if it works for you.
Let’s eat the food.
By the way, when I woke up the next morning, my abs were still there.
Just another example that enjoying an occasional cheat meal won’t make you gain weight.
Earn your cheat meals, then enjoy, guilt-free.
