I'm not a serial dieter, this is my first diet. I have found that I have some controversial ideas about dieting haha which I'm not sure are right or eh less right. I partake in piggy sunday. I love food. I would marry food if I could that's how much I love food. So for me 6 days I do pretty well, eat healthy cut out junk, then on Sundays I pig. I don't mean that I'm eatings 5000 calories hehe just that instead of granola Ill have french toast for breakfast or I'll sit down with cookies Or there'll be a few 'quick add calories' in my diary on a sunday hehehe Sundays I eat when I'm hungry and I bend the rules a bit. I don't over do it though. I haven't yet gone over 1900 kcal. I just think it's better, for me, to have one day a week to pig. What do you think?

    I agree. As long as you keep track and don't go super crazy or get sick. a one day rule bender is fine. Great job and :smile: keep it up.

    I think it's okay to relax one day a week. Personally, it seems to help me lose weight. If i'm good too much the scale doesn't budge. I think it prevents your body from going into starvation mode. I would try not to let your net calories get too high and cancel out the good you did the rest of the week.

    I don't think it can do too much harm as long as you don't go overboard....I still eat what I fancy but just keep an eye on the calories and fat...plus you don't want to be obsessing over what you can't have making yourself more likely to have a serious binge!

    yay I'm not alone in my thinking. I just think I have better sticking power when I'm not super stringent. Having said that I find I don't crave the sugar I used to before I started dieting :) so it never gets over 1900kcal on a piggy day If I never let myself have anything I think I'd start binge eating hahaha tomoros monday back to raison snacks :) I'm not complaining though, I like raisons

    one of my friends on here told me the other day that you are meant to have a treat day once a week not only does it keep the cravings away but its also to do with your bodys metabolism apparently it keeps it on its toes i didnt know this till she told me as i was feeling bad that i had a huge sunday roast followed by a humongus piece of double chocolate gateau the funny thing was i actually lost a pound that week and the first 2 weeks i was really good and didnt loose a thing so there must be something in it that helps so now i enjoy my sundays and dont worry about it too much as long as you are doing a burn a day the good thing about fitness pal is you dont have to exclude any foods just keep to your calorie count :) much luck for your journey from a fellow food lover x
