For those of you who maintain a clean diet most of the time, what do you reach for when you decide to cheat?

Bananas are always on the sweet side, tasty, nutritious, vitamin and mineral filled, easy to store and eat, filling, inexpensive and overall healthy. Best snack around and won't make you fat....unless you eat LOTS of them.

 

Excellent between meal snack whether you're on a diet or not.

Any type of pasta, it's my favourite food and I used to eat it wayyy too often.

 

Huh. I never considered eating pasta "cheating", at least not wheat-pasta. Lost twenty pounds last year with that as a dietary staple.

Homemade deep-dish pizza with all the 'bad' things on it. The sauce, the onions and the red bell peppers are the only 'vegetables'. Nice chilled beer to go with it. Yum.

Fries and potato chips. Salty snacks are like a drug for me...once I get started I can't stop.

Pasta is generally full of carbs.

There's a place here called Pasta Cup and it's so addictive. Based on their dietry info too it's definteley not eating clean. x

Eventually I crave fat - cheese enchiladas, fried chicken, chocolate, cookies.

 

But when you're eating healthy, it doesn't take much of this food at all to make you feel stuffed.

A "Five Guys Burger & Fries" double-pattie burger with the works and cajun fries on the side..... I am salivating like Pavlovs' dog

Mexican food. When I've said "screw it!" for counting the day's calories, I go to my favorite Mexican place and order two ground beef tacos with all rice on the side. Ends up being two massive, cheese-laden tacos, and probably 1.5-2 cups of fried rice. If I really don't care, I get a delicious Coca-Cola to go with it. Ahhh, such a wonderful treat :D but not too often

My top 2 cheat meals are

 

1. Chinese takeaway, mixed meat in black bean sauce with crispy noodle and mixed starter (wantons, spare ribs, salt and chilli pepper chicken wings and spring rolls)

 

2. Pepperoni pizza and half pounder cheese burger.

I don't diet, but my weakness is cookies and pastries.

I don't think pasta is cheating either, although I tend to go for more whole grains.

 

There's nothing wrong with carbs. They're the basis of most traditional diets. I'm vegan, a good weight, and I generally eat this way (except I use fats) - whole foods, starch based diet:

Sure, but then you have that whole glycemic-index and other various minutia that I haven't stayed caught up on. Whole-wheat pasta, cherry tomatoes, spinach, some lemon-juice, low-fat parmesan = good-to-go!
