When Christian Singles Washington DC go on a diet, they are setting themselves up for failure. It is not likely that anyone will follow strict diet rules about what they can or can not eat. Cutting certain foods out of your life forever is unrealistic, especially when it comes to your favorite comfort foods. No one wakes up one day and decides they are never going to eat macaroni and cheese or chocolate cake ever again and then sticks to it.
For those Christian single people out there who have been on fad diets and diets that are "proven to work", there is a new diet that is not really a diet at all. It is called the Cheater's diet, and it is perfect for everyone! No more worrying about gaining an extra pound because you "cheated" and had dessert, French fries, or a venti coffee. On the Cheater's diet, the idea is that if you allow a thirty six hour indulgence period over the weekend, you will not even want to "cheat" during the week. On the list of corner cutting foods is cake, ice cream, fast food, French fries, pizza, meats, cheeses, and any other foods that would normally cause a binge during the week. The 80/20 rule certainly applies here. All week long, you might have to curb a few cravings, but keep in mind that you will be allowed those during Saturday and part of Sunday.
Put aside the Christian Singles Washington DC cravings during the week. When Saturday comes, look at the list of foods and extra calories that you avoided. For every 3,500 calories, you saved yourself an extra pound. Even a pound a week may not seem like much, but that equals up to almost 5 pounds each month, 25 pounds between New Year's and bikini season, and a whopping 52 pounds over a year's time! So, think in perspective of not how many pounds you are losing but also how much weight you are keeping yourself from actually putting on in the first place. Never reward yourself with food. Instead, calculate how much money you saved by not binging on pizza and ice cream mid-way through the week then go buy yourself a $25 pedicure with the difference!
