    I don't really call mine a cheat day bc I am still mindful of what I am eating. Saturday is my weigh-in day. On Saturday I normally cook a breakfast for my family and I only eat half (like I normally do) and we either go to lunch or dinner. I order what I want within reason and only eat a half! I eat the other half for lunch the next day.....I am not allowed to eat desserts unless I look up cals first because that can easily get out of control when CHOCOLATE is involved!

    I'm reading a book by Jackie Warner called "This is why You're Fat" (and how to get thin for life). Her eating plan consists of eating clean for five days and on the weekends you can have two cheat meals of up to 1500 calories each. I think this is good because when you eat clean most of your cravings are eliminated. You have 2 cheat meals, this helps you to get through the week eating clean because you know you can eat foods you might crave twice on the weekend.

    I dont agree to a full cheat day but I do agree that you shouldnt deprive yourself of all of the foods you love forever..If I am at a restaurant and I see a dessert that I really want I have it I may not eat the whole thing but I allow myself to indulge.. I'm human and I can't expect myself to be perfect.

    The only days I believe are full cheat days or what I call non logging days are Thanksgiving, Christmas and My Birthday :)
