To be successful on any weight loss diet program, you must allow yourself a cheat day. It is unrealistic to think that you will never be able to eat a candy bar, slice of pie, or have an ice cream sundae. Cheating on your diet gives you a break from the routine and energizes and motivates you to stick to the plan.

So how can you lose weight fast with a cheat day?

If you’ve conditioned your body to expect, for example, 1,750 calories per day, then you suddenly give it 2,500, your body reacts by trying to process those calories as quickly as possible. That kicks your metabolism into high gear. The carryover effect of that is that your body goes into hyper-burn mode for a little while. That helps you lose weight faster.

It’s actually the reverse of the process your body goes through when you cut your calories. Remember that when you drastically cut calories, your body responds by conserving fat to prevent starvation. When you add to your calories, your body treats them as “extra” and tries to dispose of them.

So you see? Adding a cheat day on your healthy weight loss plan is actually good for you!

Good food and proper nutrition is an absolute necessity in any weight loss diet program.

Most people, however, have a little difficulty with eating healthy because it does require a little more work, but in the long run it’s well worth the effort. This is where a meal plan comes in handy.

Using the Metamorphic Weight Loss Meal Guide and Recipe Planner as a guide, develop a meal plan for the week. Plan meals with lots of fruit and vegetables. Go that extra step and buy food that is unprocessed, low in natural sugars, and fresh.

Most of us don’t eat enough vegetables because they require some preparation but if you plan ahead it can be a very simple preparation process. For example, I like steamed broccoli. So what I do is go to the grocery store and buy several stalks of fresh broccoli, bring it home, parboil it for about 5 minutes, rinse it with cold water to stop the cooking, and freeze it in meal size freezers bags. When I’m ready to eat, I throw them into the steamer for 3 minutes and they’re perfect. Really simple. Really fast. Really good.

Good, clean food is the fuel of the body. Consuming a box of macaroni & cheese or some other high carbohydrate and fattening meal instead of a properly combined meal consisting of a good protein, essential fat, and a low glycemic, high fiber carbohydrate is simply weight loss suicide.

Putting bad food in your body and expecting it to achieve peak performance is like putting regular gasoline in a Ferrari and expecting it to run smoothly. It just won’t happen.

Your waist to hip ratio (WHR) is a simple and useful measure of fat distribution and is used as an indicator of your overall health risks when planning your healthy weight loss program.

The more weight you carry around your waist (apple shaped body) places you at greater risk of developing lifestyle related health problems such as heart disease, hypertension, and diabetes than those who carry more weight around their hips (pear shaped body).

To determine your WHR, divide your waist circumference (measured at the level of your belly button) by your hip circumference (taken at the widest part of the hip).

waist measurement ÷ hip measurement = WHR

If you are male and have a WHR greater than 1.0 - or a female with a WHR greater than 0.85 - your health risk is considered high.

If you are male and have a WHR between 0.96 and 1.0 - or a female with a WHR between 0.81 and 0.85 - your health risk is considered moderate.

If you are male and have a WHR less than 0.95 - or a female with a WHR less than 0.80 - your health risk is considered low.

Remember, your waist to hip ratio is just one assessment that is used in measuring weight-related health risks. Your total body fat percentage versus your lean body mass is still your best indicator of health and should be your number one goal in any healthy weight loss program.
