Let’s face it, sticking to a diet plan is not the easiest thing in the world. When trying to lose weight, the temptation to snag on a cheat meal every now and again is very real. But yielding into that temptation will mean foregoing any progress made on your dieting program. Thankfully, there are ways around the problem. Nutritionists have outlined ways in which you can indulge yourself without derailing from your weight loss plan.
In this post, we’re sharing some recipes to consider when looking to splurge. The choice of a cheat meal matters – because if you’re going to be cheating on your diet plan, you might as well do it with the healthiest options possible.
Craving for some cookies? The Banana Oatmeal Cookie will come in handy, as it has the extra awesome quality of being a healthy snack. Bananas are nutritious and contain high concentrations of dietary fibre and antioxidants. These are cookies you can easily binge on without the added serving of guilt-tripping.
We all know how irresistible the urge for Pizza gets sometimes. But the regular Pizza doesn’t quite go well with those on a diet regimen and are looking to lose some weight. That’s why there is such a thing as the Whole Wheat Chicken Pizza. Wheat. Research has shown that consumption of whole grain wheat is better for preventing weight gain than refined, processed wheat. Now you can enjoy Pizza without worrying about straying too far away from all the progress you may have made from sticking with your diet plan.
What’s not to love about muffins? The egg muffin comes in handy as the occasional snack to try out when you’re looking to take a break from your strict diet regimen. The beauty of the recipe is in the choice of ingredients. Check out our cookbook for the method of preparation.
The Blended Potato Muffin is another way to indulge yourself. We have already talked about the awesomeness and versatility of potato in the past. It is stacked with numerous nutritious goodies that pretty much makes it the goto ingredient in several meals. Try out these muffins when you’re looking for a cheat meal you can enjoy while still eating healthy.
- Stuffed Chicken Breast
One look at the stuffed chicken breast meal is enough to leave you salivating. If you’re going to be picking a chicken meal to binge on (away from your diet plan), you might as well try out the stuffed chicken breast. It is a particularly delicious way to have chicken. The stuffings are mostly veggies and it all makes up for a low fat diet in the end. You can peek in our cookbook for tips on how to prepare this meal.
One last thing, though: you have to ensure that you try out cheat meals with some degree of discretion. You have to decide to set up mechanisms to rein yourself back into your diet regimen so that all your progress isn’t lost in the end. Right, so, do you have any other favourite cheat meals you occasionally try out? Please share with us in the comments section.
