Before You Cheat

You should Eat 3 Ounces of Protein Before Every Cheat. We all cheat on our healthy diet now and then with carbs – but there’s a right way and a wrong way to do so. Before indulging in alcohol, fries, cake, or a chocolate bar, eat 3 ounces of protein first. You might go with 3 ounces of turkey breast, 3 ounces of cottage cheese, or 3 ounces of Greek yogurt. No matter what form you consume it in, protein is your friend when indulging in heavy carbs, as it helps slow digestion. Remember, don’t cheat more than two or three times a week, with only one cheat per day, so your blood sugar stays balanced” (Dr. Oz).
