The Diet Logs

Did you know that most dieting experts suggest that you take a day off of dieting each week?  Dieting all the time can be rough on your metabolism.  Experts are now suggesting that you have a diet-free day.  Now, you shouldn’t go crazy and eat everything in sight.

Increase your calorie intake somewhat on your diet-free day.  Indulge as a treat in a light dessert or a second helping of your favorite protein.  This will kick-start your metabolism again and make it easier for you to continue to lose weight instead of plateauing.

You can also look forward to your diet-free day.  Plan ahead of time what you are going to eat.  This is a nice treat to look forward to each week while you work hard on your diet and exercise.  You can look at the diet-free day as a reward day for all of your hard work.
