I ate something bad, will it ruin my diet completely?

Monday 14 October 2013



This is something that I see a lot of people asking in online communities and the answer is really simple.

No

How can I explain this in an easy way....

Imagine your life consisted of eating fast food every day, four times a day. During one of the days you decide to eat something healthy. Does that automatically mean that you are now fit and healthy, because you had that one good meal?

No, it doesn't.

The same thought should be adopted when you have a minor slip up.

Hopefully that answers that age old question in the easiest way possible. No you will not ruin your diet completely from having one bad food, the only time this bad food will ruin your diet is if you eat large quantities of it, without planning in advance for it, by incorporating it into your meal plan for the day.

Now go and enjoy that burger, but remember to add it into your macro allowance for the day.
