cheat days

ccsernica

Special occasions are special. I wouldn't call them cheating. Part of the problem with our modern eating habits is that we eat all the time the way people used eat only on special occasions. If we successfully control our eating at all other times, what on earth could possibly be cheating about a celebratory feast when we're doing that only for celebrations?

Just my opinion....if you are confident you won't fall into a permanent trap....do your "all out" and get over it. Get back to your plan the next day.

I don't believe in cheat days. I've never gone "all out" because that would probably just make me sick but I do make good choices so when I feel the need to eat junk food I eat some and move on. 80lbs down and rockin' it at the gym.

..... why would you put it in your head that you're planning to go "All out"! If you feel the need to go all out and are actually making a plan to do so, I'd say you're current nutrition plan isn't realistic or sustainable.

um haha no. its my graduation and birthday, that's why i feel the need to go all out

Okay so what will be the next excuse? Your birthday? vacation? a friends birthday? family event...?????

Personally I find cheat days, meals,
Carbing up what never you decide to call it, a necessity to lose fat.
All depends on how long you've been dieting and your bf percentage

Happy Birthday! And graduation! I would just eat whatever the hell you want and get back to it the next day. Life is short...food is good! My personal theory is that if you pay attention to what you eat and how it effects your body plus work out, you're going to be better off than the majority.

I think a cheat day is a bad idea. You can easily ruin all your progress.
If you're going out in the evening then try and limit your intake so you can splash out in the evening. I had a 'cheat' day today but I only went 7 calories over my aim of 1200. Try not to go more than 200 over your goal.
