• Ok question for the natural/healthy food eaters and excercise people?

    OK i just want to start out by saying that i am one of you! i Work out 6 days a week, lift weights, cardio, run ect. ect. I eat really healthy, leans meats, whey, non-fat yogurt, fish, shrimp, canned veggies, canned fruit(college student…fresh is too expensive), oatmeal… i pretty much stay away from packaged foods (except the canned but i always get organic or low-sodium/light syrup)
    my question is i tend to cheat alot, i go a week eating really healthy and excercising them sometimes i just pig out. I need a stopper and i love ice cream, especially the ben and jerrys, so here is my question, if i eat really healthy around 1500 calories a day, excercise and eat a whole container of ben and jerrys on once a week (on average about 1000 calories a container) will this be harmful to weightloss, and when i get my system flushed out will it just make it crappy again?
    I need to add, i have muscles and can almost see a 6-pack, but i have a little flab around the belly, thighs and buttox, and i need(well dont need but want to) to lose the fat in 2 months for springbreak, ive been working out about 2 hours a-day, running around 3 miles. will i still lose weight if i eat one thing of ben and jerrys once a week.

    If you are exercising that much, you are fine. You will feel kinda crappy the day after you pig out, but that will probably help you cut back some.

    No. IT is encouraged that you eat what you want from time to time. It helps eliminate the possibility of you failing your diet completely.

  3. It’s perfectly okay to indulge yourself in whatever treats you desire! The important thing to remember is to do it in moderation. First you’re young and still have a high metabolism so that’s a plus. Second, you’re doing more than what most college students do, so you’re entitled to your treats. I’d say try to eat 1/4 of a container 4 times a week rather than a full one, once a week. Don’t worry, when you’re out of college, you’ll have more time and money to eat the way you want. Try frozen fruit, and frozen vegetables, they’re a little more convienient. Keep working hard!

    It actually won’t do anything, if you work out that much. I try and work out alot, but I do tend to cheat, and i’m still skinny.
