I agree with your overall sentiment. I'm just afraid people will believe that if they are not eating 100% healthy or "clean" food then they are just wasting their time. It's this sort of fatalistic thinking (including your point about feeling deprived) that gets people into trouble with yo-yo dieting. Ross,

I often prepare large meals on the weekend, that then provide several meals throughout the week. There are also ways to prepare quick, tasty, and healthy snacks in between meals. I do realize that time is limited in today's busy world, but there is a solution to most problems. Ross Cody – That is where leftovers come in handy.

The more conveniant things get the more people will eat them. Unfortunatley you don't really see any healthy drive throughs next to the never ending row of fast food restaurants.

I think one of the problems is that people dont know what a cheat meal is. For example, I never thought cereal was a cheat meal, until reading this.I always thought it was a healthy breakfast. My question is, is cereal like honey bunches of oats for example, a cheat meal? Great points ross. I think one of the problems is that people dont know what a cheat meal is.

I eat healthy because it makes me feel better and helps with training, but if i fancy a beer or two at the weekend, or a pizza or something ill have one. I just know where to draw the line. People who crash diet will mostly get nowhere, because how can you sustain it all your life? It takes time to lose the weight, so if you do eat a lot of junk, a crash diet from out of nowhere will tax you mentally. You need to educate yourself, learn to make tasty healthy foods, get some exercise and have a cheat now and again. Works for me, plus once I’ve had the cheat, it can spur me on to push myself in my next training session!

I am simply stating that 'healthy' food (when prepared properly) can be a treat. I prefer the taste of it over any form of 'junk' food. That's my point. We shouldn't live each day waiting for the next cheat meal.  For example, we had ice cream at my son's birthday party. I didn't wait all week to eat the ice cream. It happened to be there, so we had some, and that was it. I'm not anxiously waiting for the next cheat meal to come along however (as many unfortunately do).  There are still many overweight members of society who feel that they will be deprived of life's joys if they change their eating habits.  They are misinformed and believe that a healthy meal cannot offer taste.  People need to realize that they are not being deprived of taste by choosing healthy foods. I eat delicious foods EVERY day of the week. There are so many healthy/tasty foods. There is no reason to actively seek out junk food when you are already eating tasty foods all along. Now, if someone wishes to have a treat (ex. ice cream), that's fine, but also realize that living a healthy lifestyle doesn't mean that you are being deprived of anything.  This is the message that must be communicated to those who have had problems with weight loss in the past.  Many fail simply because they related dieting to deprivation.  As soon as the diet begins, they believe they are in a state of deprivation (ie. missing out on something).  I'm not deprived and I don't diet.  I simply eat a healthy meal plan throughout the week, and love the taste of it.

Ross, why does a person have to either consume a diet of healthful foods or complete junk? Why can there not be something in between? Why cannot someone exercise, eat well (most of the time) and have a "treat" on occasion? If you personally do not prefer to eat "junk food" then so be it. But it seems to me you are making a common logical fallacy here by creating a false dichotomy. This is a bit ridiculous.
