The word “diet” produces all kinds of dread – and not just mentally and emotionally. There are even huge downsides to “dieting” physically that you’ve probably never even heard about. By dieting, we are talking about something called “weight cycling.” Some refer to it as yo-yo dieting. Either way you define it, we’re talking about a pattern of dieting to lose weight, gaining weight back, then dieting again.
The word “cheat” should be clarified or defined when you decide you are going to do it. If my mindset is, “Saturday is coming, and I’m going to eat as much as I want and whatever I want,” then you’re going to be in trouble. Cheats are not an excuse to eat as much of anything we want.
Cheat days have the potential to really take us off track and bring back all those cravings we had under control. They can be a very slippery slope, for sure. On the other hand, because it’s really rare to have a client who never cheats at all (although we actually do have them), cheats can be kind of like the release valve on a pressure cooker for some.
Our bodies naturally crave sodium, which helps to regulate our proper salt intake. So, following your own natural taste for salt when adding it to food is fine. That said, there is a big difference in what type of salt you eat.
Everybody is confused about salt, and with good reason. Not even the major health organizations in our country agree with one another on the proper amount of dietary salt. While their recommendations have continued to decline overall, the CDC (Centers for Disease Control) 2020-2025 guidelines recommend the average intake of sodium to be about 2,300 mg per day, which was revised down from a previous recommendation of 3,300 mg.
One of the most common things we hear when people begin a healthy eating lifestyle is that it costs so much more – that it’s so very expensive. There is a valid point to that statement; however, it really only considers one side of that equation.
