For the love of food
Join in the celebrations and splurge out on your favourite meal for Eat What You Want day today!
PACK away those diet tips, pull out your ‘lazy day’ jeans and join in the fun as the world celebrates international Eat What You Want day today!
Forget about sinking into that low fat, low carb, low kilojoule meal (in other words, water) and take a big bite out of a delicious, juicy, hearty meal without all the added guilt!
Although many strict diet followers will be nervous to venture out into the world of all-you-can-eat goodness, most nutritionists seem to agree that giving yourself a break every now and again can actually be good for us.
Celebrating the day
Eat What You Want Day was created by Thomas and Ruth Roy of wellcat.com to help people break away from the frustrating health and diet trends of our times, if for only one day, and just let go and enjoy life a little.
It shouldn’t be too hard to imagine how to celebrate this holiday – you can eat whatever you want, isn’t that enough cause for celebration?
Everyone is different, so for some people, this will mean pigging out on junk food.
They will stop counting calories and go berserk, eating everything from ice cream to chocolate to cake and pie, and then some cookies with ice cream washed down with hot chocolate, and then some ice cream cake.
However, nowhere in the holiday’s description does it say that you have to take this route to gastronomic satisfaction.
Aficionados of gourmet cuisine can choose to celebrate by splurging on a meal at a five star restaurant.
Or, alternatively, you can try to recreate a favourite childhood meal in your home. Did your Mom use to make the best macaroni and cheese? Call her up and get the recipe!
Nothing beats a good comfort food to make us feel full, happy and sleepy all at the same time.
Or maybe you’re a strict vegetarian who can’t help but miss steak or shrimp every now and then—if so, maybe you should treat yourself to something you wouldn’t usually eat just to reward your body for the tasty things it has to go without on a daily basis?
The key is to eat something that you truly enjoy, so whatever food that is for you, get celebrating!
