Get Fit FAST - Eat Cake And Still Look Your Best

So, you've been good - you haven't eaten too many unhealthy foods and your exercise efforts have resulted in a healthier body, increased self-esteem and more energy.

When Can You Consume Your Favorite Desserts? When is the time to enjoy your most preferred foods, treats etc. without being disappointed in yourself?

A few years back I went on a 1-week vacation with my family. This 7 day hiatus from and work and discipline was the perfect time to break my patterns of healthy eating and exercise.

I decided to really enjoy myself on this vacation and just completely relax - I mean all the way (Yes that means Cakes galore).

I had no problem adjusting to the overeating and lack of exercise. It was great fun - at least temporarily!! After following 7 days of this glutinous way of life, Cakes and candies and pies......

I went up a whole size of pants as well as packing on an additional 37 pounds. Moral of the story, don't do that. You can eat your favorite Cakes - just don't over do it.

As a personal trainer this is what I suggest for how to go about it the proper way.....

Make eating healthy eating and regular exercise the rule in your life.

As you know there are always exceptions to the rule no matter the subject matter - and yes this does include eating and exercise (Even Cakes)..

When you make healthy eating and exercise the rule, the occasional Cake or other exceptions are not a cause for vexation. Let me clarify that, if you make fitness your normal habit, the occasional outside pattern or desert or treat, such as a birthday cake, wedding cake or even a party cake, will not ruin your body.

As long as you return to the original plan, and not change it as you go.

A few desserts each week, even a few missed workout sessions will not damage you, as long as they are exceptions and not the norm.

On average you eat 28 times in a week - 5 meals a day.

The 10% exception rule (or about 3-4 meals a week) that are less than perfect are not going to harm you (in moderation)..

When you engage in an "exception meal", don't eat enough for the next 3 days worth, just eat the same amount of calories and portions of food as normal, except this time it's in the form of your favorite foods or Cakes.

When you choose a healthy lifestyle for yourself, you can indulge in the occasional treat without the guilt. That is your guide to eating Cake and staying fit.
