 Hey all, so should you have cheat days or should you have carb loading days on a key to diet and the answer is interesting. Primitively our ancestors would have done that naturally by finding you know a bush of berries or apples or fruit trees or honey and things like that so they would have naturally done it but it would have been small windows of time and you also have to keep in mind that they would have spent a lot of their time starving the rest of the year so are eating very very low carb the rest of the year so we can't really utilize that as a true example but what I do recommend is long term results is about behaviors and it comes down to you change your behavior so if you're a person that that goes out and you have to splurge and overindulge to feel like you're satisfied that used to be me meaning that if I was having a day off I would just go all in that's not a good behavior right so I would rather you find times and situations where you can have some flexibility and freedom not cheating I think cheating the worst I think cheating is not a good idea the reason why is that it's already has a negative concept you already feel guilty for doing it so not cheating enjoying certain days and I think holidays are kind of built in we have birthdays we have fourth July we have Labor Day Memorial Day we have Halloween we have Christmas Thanksgiving New Year's Easter we kind of already built it in to have days where you can maybe splurge and have a little more fun and but allow yourself not to feel bad or guilty about it and I think those are important I think having those enjoyments are really important for long-term goals and results but in between those times having a clean healthy lifestyle that you found that works best for you is ultimately the gift but now I have a secret though in the days that you decide that you want to splurge or have a little bit of fun that's when I always have ketones available and the reason why is because I do it all the time but but on those days what's gonna happen is that it buffers and reduces your next two three four days of doing the same thing so it's an easy kind of hack to protect you from yourself in the future cheers hey thanks for watching the video just subscribe below if you want all the updates and we upload the newest videos on keto health wellness vitality check it out come join us
