30 Seconds SummaryAn extremely effective diet tip
- Cycling your diet, such as carb cycling, cyclic ketogenic diets, or having cheat days, is commonly recommended but often focuses too much on process over results.
- The primary objective of dieting should be to achieve concrete results, like fat loss, rather than just adhering to the dietary process.
- A common issue with strict adherence to a diet is the potential to see initial success followed by a frustrating plateau.
- Incorporating short-term, concrete goals within your diet can prevent plateaus and keep you motivated.
- Instead of setting a long-term goal of significant weight loss, set smaller, incremental goals such as losing 1-2 pounds at a time before allowing yourself a cheat meal or carb-up.
- This strategy provides both psychological satisfaction from frequent, measurable progress and the physical enjoyment of occasional rewards throughout the dieting process.
- Implementing this tip can help break through dieting plateaus and make the overall experience less stressful and more effective.
