Increase water intake
If your cheat included foods that are high in sugar, fat and sodium, drinking more water can help your body flush out toxins and any excess water that it may be retaining due to the content of the food you ate. Drink enough water so that you are visiting the potty regularly and your urine is virtually clear in color.
Eat High-Fiber Vegetables
Include plenty of high-fiber, nutrient-rich vegetables in your diet for a few days, especially vegetables like spinach, broccoli, cabbage, avocado, and brussels sprouts. This will help keep you feeling full while also stimulating your digestive system to keep things moving along smoothly, and boosting your metabolism because these foods require your body to expend a fair amount of energy to digest them.
Patiently Wait Out Cravings
Finally, if you cheated with a food that has now triggered cravings for more of the same food, you’ll have to patiently wait it out until the cravings pass. Remember that some foods (like sugar) create a chemical chain-reaction in your body that makes you want more and more of them. When a craving comes over you, simply take a few deep breaths, affirm that it will pass, and wait until it does.
Cheating on your diet is not the end of the world - it’s not even the end of your diet, if you simply keep your common sense and do what you can to get back on track as quickly as possible. And if you find you’re consistently cheating on your diet, then it may not be the right diet plan for you. Losing weight permanently means making changes you can live with for the rest of your life.
