When losing weight is it true that having a cheat meal or day is good for your metabolism? which is better? will the foods cause me to bloat for days?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
"Best" 4 metabolism: Everyone cheats on their diet a little, but not adhering to your plan most of the time means no weight loss. Best for your metabolism are well-balanced (not a fad diet) meals calculated to keep the # of calories taken in lower than the calories you burn. Exercise, avoid alcohol (empty calories), minimize snacks but factor in "cheats" every now ; then so you don't feel deprived. Keep goal in mind!
