  • Every Saturday night is my weekly cheat meal I never gain weight from it because you're only cheating once a week and it's good to change up your metabolism I wouldn't save any calories I would just cheat.

    Your metabolism doesn't get changed up. You don't gain weight from your cheat meal because you're still in a calorie deficit...some people can undo that deficit in one cheat meal/day.

    I dont cheat .... I eat less during the week so I can eat more at the weekend and stay in my weekly allowance .... the food I eat at the weekend inevitably includes, alcohol, desserts, treats etc etc ... but thats planned for because I like them.

    If you dont cheat, you cant feel guilty or blame anything ... just make allowances in your weekly calorie goal for what ever you like to eat

    I don't cheat during weekends but do things I enjoy. If I just sat at home being bored I would probably do that. So why not find something you enjoy doing? It doesn't need to cost money.

    if I do feel like eating a lot of candy (did that last week) then I just accept it. It was the first time this year. No problem.

    Cheat... such a negative word. I prefer to think of things as 'treats' for my hard work.. a reward that I've earned, that I savour.
