If you don’t loosen the reins once and while you’re bound to overdo it when you finally give in to your cravings. That’s why registered dietitian and personal trainer Kristin Reisinger, schedules a weekly indulgence.

“A large cheat meal can actually help you reach your goals faster. It revs the metabolism, helps the body burn fat, and prevents your body from slowing down or adapting to calorie restriction.” Just be sure you stick to an overall healthy eating pattern. To maintain a healthy diet, you should wholeheartedly enjoy that indulgent meal and then return to eating a balanced diet ASAP.
