The Treat Day
A moderate weight-loss diet that doesn’t leave you craving cheat days is likely to be more beneficial for physical and mental health than a very restrictive diet with cheat days.
One version of the ‘cheat day’ is the ‘treat day’, which sounds more positive, but it still alludes to some foods being good and others bad. No one food is bad, it is how much and how often you eat it that counts.
Some foods are more nutritionally dense than others but food isn’t just good or bad. It needs to be “repackaged” to add other elements, such as enjoyment.
