How to Eat Chocolate Cake and Lose Weight
Even though there is no such thing as ‘The Chocolate Cake Diet’, that doesn’t mean that having chocolate cake still won’t help you lose weight. Here’s 3 quick things you can do to let chocolate cake be a part of your diet:
1. Don’t eat cake or sweets after 5pm
If you are going to have some kind of sweet food no matter what, at least make it before 5pm.
The later in the day that you wait to eat junk food, the more likely it is going to be turned into fat.
By not eating junk food after 5pm, you aren’t letting the extra carbs and fat sit in your stomach while you sleep.
The earlier in the day you can have junk food the better.
2. Exercise more
The more you exercise, the more calories you are going to be burning.
- The more calories you are burning, the more “extra calories” you have to spare for junk food.
- If you exercise 3 times a week already, at 1 or 2 days just dedicated to cardio.
- Try to go for 30-45 minutes as intense as you can, and those extra pieces of chocolate aren’t going to affect you as much.
3. Follow the ‘3 Bite Rule’
This technique works wonders for helping you to curb cravings right away, and to still make sure you lose the weight you need to.
If you follow the 3 Bite Rule, you are also practicing self control, which is something that you NEED to have in order to stay in shape.
In order to use the ‘3 Bite Rule’ you simply have to do one thing: when eating any kind of junk food or dessert, only take 3 bites.
It can be 2 in the morning and you just have to have some chocolate, but make sure that you stop after 3 bites and there is no harm done!
