May 11 is Eat What You Want Day
Eat What You Want Day is observed on May 11, 2015. What do you like to eat today? Eat What You Want Day invites you to temporarily say goodbye to your usual eating plan, Cute Calendar reports.
Do not think about whether something is healthy or whether you're on a diet: simply eat what you like. But do not overdo it: if you suffer from allergies or serious diseases, you should think about whether you participate in Eat What You Want Day.
According to daysoftheyear.com, 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. Most nutritionists seem to agree that giving yourself a break every now and again can actually be good for us, and that forcing ourselves to eat only low-calorie, tasteless foods for prolonged periods of time is likely to cause us to suddenly gorge on everything in sight when our determination wears off.
It shouldn’t be too hard to imagine how to celebrate this holiday, really. 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.
