if i have heart disease or high blood pressure is it okay to splurge on my diet one night?
well there seem to be fairly instant physiological effects in terms of blood lipid levels and potential inflammation in the arteries after we eat a super high saturated fat meal so i would try to direct someone to “cheat” responsibly. in other words even when we are “cheating ” we can make better choices. like a guy is having his favorite steak and potato meal from a restaurant. try to choose a leaner cut of steak (filet mignon top sirloin or london broil for example) and try to keep the amount of steak eaten within 6 ounces or so (take the rest of the 12- or 16-ounce steak home for sandwiches the next day). he might be more satisfied with this smaller portion of steak if he has enjoyed a broth- or tomato-based cup of soup and/or a nice green salad with a vinaigrette dressing – before he gets to the steak. .
