Cheat meals

ggelli2014

Hello to everyone,

I would like to ask you what you think about the following question. In the last six months I have lost about 25 kg thanks to a combination of low-calorie diet and exercise (I run 6/8 km almost every day and I do 30 minutes of abs / weights). It seems to me that I have not lost muscle but almost only fat.

However, about once a week I eat much more than usual (but never very fatty foods. Generally I exceed in carbohydrates and proteins). Surely there is in this the psychological aspect of taking a break from a rigid diet. Then maybe even the body sometimes requires more nutrients, for example sometimes I find it hard to run, maybe it's a symptom of a lack of carbohydrates.

I wanted to ask you what the consequences of this type of behavior can be? Considering that the day after the cheat meal I have no particular problems. For example, can this thing lead me to gain back the weight I have lost? If one eats for instance 5000 kcal in a meal, are they completely absorbed by the body or is a part eliminated and therefore should not be considered in the calories count?

Thanks so much.

Just keep doing what you're doing, it's working.

There is some discussion that high calorie days result in a lack of absorption, but who cares really?

I just log my high calorie days and move on. Consequences? Your results speak for themselves.
