Not many people know that the 11th May holds the title for National Eat What You Want Day.

In a society where people are becoming more health conscious, we really do need a day to stuff our faces full of whatever we want. But, it doesn’t have to be all bad.

Always wanted to try that new restaurant but couldn’t justify spending £30 on brunch? Well, use today as your excuse.

Eating what you want doesn’t have to entail endless amounts of sugar or bursting at the seems from eating far too much. We are intelligent creatures after all.

That isn’t to say you can’t indulge in your favourite snacks at maximum proportion, without being judged.

But if you verge on the more health conscious side of life, use this day to broaden your palette by trying something new. Never tried fried chicken and waffles? Well, today is your lucky day.

Luckily, this year it falls on a Friday – the perfect day to stuff our faces and lull about on the sofa.

If you’re struggling to find ways to celebrate this glorious day try some of these:

• Go all out by gathering your friends, order pizza with extra toppings and finish with snacks
• Get down to Creams for a milkshake and some sweet food
• Splash out a bit – it’s not everyday you’re given a free pass to spend loads on take-out food
• Head out in search of your favourite foods from your favourite restaurants
• Try something new
