maybe metabolism works differently at Hogwartsā¦
but here, our bodies are so much more complex
and if weāre being for real, when has āburning that cheat mealā ever actually gotten you to your goalsā¦.
so maybe we break down these toxic mindsets one step at a time.
1. A cheat meal is a whack (and not effective) excuse for you to dismiss your everyday portion sizes. In reality, if you thought about your macros, you could incorporate your favorite foods intentionally and not feel the need to ācheatā
2. Burning off a meal is not how your metabolism works. The way you breathe, eat, sleep, move, rest, recover allllll play in to how your body processes, utilizes, and stores energy. So youāre better off finding balance in the whole system then trying to hyperfocus on one aspect.
3. Whatās the goal here? Cuz weāre walking a wild line to some disordered eating traits here, sista. If the goal is healthy fat loss (emphasis on healthy) then re-examine points 1 & 2 and letās approach it in a soft girl era mindset
slow, steady, mindful, and intentional is the name of the game
