Weekend Treat

Post by BCS ADRENALINE »

Well, as far as eating I'd say I'm pretty solid...except sugar. weakness is dessert. Now question is, what effect will it have if I only eat it on the weekend? (I wouldn't dream of touching the stuff during the week) problem is that I don't want to eat it because I'm afraid it will put me back where I was, and I feel very guilty after eating it. HELP!!!!

Effect would not be significant, unless you have a massive amount of Sugar and Fat in it.

If you used to have quite a bit of Fat and Sugar, then your body would end up with withdrawal type effects, to some degree for a while, where your body wanted to have the things you stopped it getting, but realistically you wouldn't do much of a problem, except possible issues with high Bloodsugar spikes off a lot of Sugar, and posible Fat conversion in the Liver.

if you were only getting a high Bloodsugar spike now and again, like once at the weekend, then the chances of it affecting aciditiy of Blood, and possibly causing long-term Diabetes wouldn't be much of an issue.

Unless you had a high Bloodsugar spike at Dinner every night, for example, then you might have a potential Diabetes issue for the future, but otherwise probably not.

You're probably most likely to get a few Fat deposits, and maybe a slight issue with Sugar and Tooth interaction, but cleaning your Teeth should rectify anything that did, or chewing Gum with something like Xylitol in it, so I wouldn't be too concerned about that either.

Overall, I don't see what you're saying being a major issue if at all. As long as you reigned it in and stopped it being a thing where you ate a high Fat or high sugar one, every single night, you wouldn't really have anything to be bothered about, I don't think.

we live our lives a little differently than most in regards to training and eating so it's more of a lifestytle...that being said it isn't if you live 1 way for 5 days and a different way for 2...in the end you're better eating sugar on training days as you'll probably utilise it anyway but you'll only put on what you burnt off during the week having it on non training days

before eating think "will this get me further to and further away from goal?"
