If i have one cheat meal will i not achive my goal?

I am on a strict very low calorie diet and extreme excerise scedual for a month in order to lose 15-20 pounds by the end of the month.



I am eating about 600 calories on the HCG diet and doing intense cardio on the INSANITY work out.



Boy is this hard, im hungry and just mentally burnt out..All i think of is food lol





Would it be terribably bad if I were to order a pizza, or go to Wendys or Taco bell or footlong sub like meatball or Pastrmi.





Will i be thrown off the band wagon to the point I will not reach my goals?

Right now I am at work its 2:15 pm and I am this close from orderin a peporoni pizza.



I am 511 and 230. I want to be at 210-215 by the end of the month..for the military

On this diet, if you order a "cheat meal," you'll probably end up getting more cheat meals. Extreme diets are never a good idea exactly for this reason that you're experiencing: Intense hunger leads to severely high chances of binging on bad foods.



Just so you know, absolutely NO ONE with any real credentials in the athletic or medical fields would ever recommend a 600 calorie diet for ANY ONE. Even the military would think you're just being crazy and unhealthy. Here's why:



1) 600 calories is definitely not enough to run basic life functions in your body. Heartbeat, inhalation of air, digestion, maintenance of body temperature, etc. all require energy to run smoothly. That's what calories are-- energy. Your body can deal with there being some shortages of food-energy by supplementing it with burned-fat energy. HOWEVER...



2) Food-energy is required to get your metabolism into a fat-burning mode. Think of consumed food calories as kindling and the fat as a logs. If you've ever tried to just set big logs on fire with a match, you know it doesn't work. You have to have something to start the fire. If you're only eating 600 calories a day, that's not enough food-energy to help your body access all the fat-energy it needs. Instead, your body will assume that you are living through a famine, and it will hold on to as much fat as it possibly can to help keep you alive throughout the famine. See, your body is not capable of realizing that you're starving yourself on purpose and can quit when you want to. It will just think that you're starving and may need that fat to help you stay alive for weeks or months to come.



3) If you're engaging in intense cardio on top of all this, you're putting extra stress on a heart-and-lungs cardiovascular system that is already functioning on few food-calories than it needs. You'll be more likely to suffer arrhythmia or just black out. You'll definitely feel weaker and you'll definitely not get the full benefit from your workouts because you won't be as strong and capable using a poorly-fueled body. Cardio daily or almost daily with strength-training 2 or 3 times a week is well-documented as the best regimen for weight-loss, but this assumes that you're not doing outlandishly unwise things with your diet.



IN SHORT: You need to get off this bandwagon anyway, but not by eating a "cheat meal." You're basically a pendulum that is set to swing to the other side any second. You're going between two extremes. The answer is not to severely limit yourself and then swing to the other extreme and pig out on nasty processed foods. The answer is to eat an appropriate amount of calories from good sources. The easiest way to make sure you're eating good food is to eat clean, meaning you eat foods where you can identify ALL the ingredients. (Apple, chicken, brown rice = all good, since they have one easy ingredient. Meal bars, protein shakes, frozen dinners, etc., all bad, since they contain many bizarre additives.) If you eat clean, you can safely eat 1500 calories or more, feel full, feel healthy, feel well-energized, and STILL lose 15 pounds in one month. Why are you purposely choosing to feel hungry, unsatisfied, weak, and deprived instead?If i have one cheat meal will i not achive my goal?
Treat yourself! Just don't go overboard, and keep your goals in mind. :)If i have one cheat meal will i not achive my goal?
if its just once it shouldnt be a problem. however, if it becomes routine then that will screw up your diet.
