ma giacomo, non si sta cmq parlando di mangiare SEMPRE dal Mc, mantenendo l'apporto calorico e proteico.
stiamo parlando di inserire senza paranoie una cagata ogni volta che se ne ha voglia (e non capita, ripeto, ogni giorno), limitando l'apporto glucidico/lipidico della giornata.
tradotto in termini pratici, se oggi la mia dieta 'prevede' 80g di riso+150g di pollo+20g evo+verdure, xké non mangiare, se ho voglia, 150g di pollo+verdure e 200g di gelato? (i macro dovrebbero essere gli stessi)
secondo me molti non lo fanno xké magari vedono quel mettere il gelato (o la pizza o cos'altro) come un momento di debolezza, quando in realtà la vera debolezza è proprio l'opposto: chi cerca un approccio rigido e inflessibile, sa in effetti di essere debole xké mangiare qualcosa 'fuori dieta' gli farebbe pensare di aver fallito...finendo quindi col mangiare PIU' di qualcosa.
quante volte hai visto (o 'visto'...virtualmente intendo) persone che dicono di rifiutare anche una caramella? (x ridere un po', conosco di persona un ragazzo che c'era un tempo in cui rifiutava anche le gomme da masticare
)
quello che intendo è IMHO molto ben spiegato qui:
"Too absolute/expecting perfection
Perhaps the single biggest reason I have found for dieters failing in their diet effects is that many
dieters try to be far too absolute in their approach to the diet something I alluded to in the foreword.
When these people are on their diet they are ON THEIR DIET(!!!). Which is altogether fine as long as
they stay on the diet. The problem is that any slip, no matter how small, is taken as complete and utter
failure. The diet is abandoned and the post-diet food binge begins. As I’ve mentioned, this tends to
put the fat (and frequently a little extra) back on faster than before.
We have all either known (or been) the following person: one cookie eaten in a moment of
weakness or distraction, the guilt sets in, and the rest of the bag is GONE (perhaps inhaled is the proper
word). Anything worth doing is worth overdoing, right? Psychologists refer to such individuals as rigid
dieters, they see the world in a rather extreme right or wrong approach, either they are on their diet, and
100% perfection is expected, or they are off their diet, shoveling crap in as fast as it will go. I’m quite
sure this type of attitude is not limited to dieting, probably any behavior you care to name finds people
at one extreme or the other.
As a side note, you can oftentimes see the same attitude with people starting an exercise
program. The first few weeks go great, workouts are going well, then a single workout is missed. The
person figures that any benefits are lost because of missing that one workout and they never go back to
the gym.
Now, I could probably go on for pages about this one topic but I’ll spare you the verbiage. My
main point out that there are times (most of them) when obsessive dedication or the expectation of
perfection becomes a very real source of failure. Sure, if it drives you towards better and better results,
such an attitude will work. But only until you finally slip. Note that I said ‘until you slip’ not ‘if you slip’. In
most cases, it’s a matter of when, not if you’re going to break your diet.
If you take the attitude that anything less than absolute perfection is a failure, you’re pretty much
doomed from the start. Now, there are some exceptions, places where results have to obtained in a
very short time frame and you can’t really accept mistakes. Athletes who have a short time to get to a
certain level of bodyfat or muscle mass, for whom victory or defeat may hinge on their ability to suffer for
long enough are one. I mentioned some others in The Rapid Fat Loss Handbook, situations where
individuals need or want to reach some drastic goal in a very short period of time; even there I included
some deliberate breaks for both psychological and physiological reasons. But in the grand majority of cases, this type of obsessive, no-exceptions attitude tends to cause more problems that it solves.
Keeping with this idea, psychologists frequently talk about something called the 80/20 principle
which says that ‘If you’re doing what you’re supposed to do 80% of the time, the other 20% doesn’t
matter’. While there are certainly exceptions (try avoiding crack or heroin for 80% of the time), it certainly
applies to dieting and exercise under the grand majority of conditions.
If the changes you’ve made to your diet and exercise program stay solid for 80% of the time, the
other 20% is no big deal. Not unless you make it one. And that’s really the issue, that 20% problem
only becomes one if the dieter decides (either consciously or unconsciously) to make it a problem. Once
again, the exception is for those folks under strict time frames, who don’t have the option to screw up.
For everyone else, seeking perfection means seeking failure."
