    cheat day does not mean junk food, it means more than you normally eat you can have something that you have been craving, a cheat meal is better for you than a cheat day, if you need one , but you should not need one really if you are eating clean food like today I had a happy meal but I have never taken a cheat meal I just eat food that I crave like a happy meal, lol guess you could call that a cheat meal even though I didn't go over my calories, but everyone is different, good luck on you decision

    No cheat days here. I haven't cut out anything I didn't normally eat before. Do I occasionally have two chai lattes if I have the alloted calories? Yesh, yesh I do.

    I don't do cheat days.
    Sure, I have days when I go over my calorie budget, but that is by accident rather than intentionally exceeding my limit.
    Cheat days just slow down progress.

    I usually balance my favorite calorie filled treats with exercise. Sometimes I’ll ride my bike to Starbucks for a calorie filled venti latte with whipped cream and all, or walk to the local Baskin Robbins for a scoop. It is a good 2 to 3 mile round trip and well worth the treat.

    I have cheat meals but not cheat days. My meals are usually random meals that are unplanned like a friend giving me some sugary sweets or just going out trying something new.

    Yes, for a real "cheat" treat, I have me a few drinks. Even if I do decide to have fried chicken, a few drinks or whatever, I usually can plan it out to where I don't go over my daily nutritional goal. I also limit myself to one meal time versus a full day. This methods helps to keep me on track.

    I was introduced to Blueberry Glazed cake donuts! They are 340 calories per but they are worth every bite. I'll eat 3-4 in the morning after my workout so the impact on my calorie count for the day is minimal.

    I may have a cheat item on a certain day ,but never an entire cheat day, I think I would crash!

    Everytime I go over my calories it's all because of beer. And lots of it -_-

    I only do a cheat day if I've lost weight that week, and I usually have whatever I want. So far, It hasn't slowed me down since I'm only five to ten pounds to goal. Who cares if it takes an extra week or so; I'm in this game for life.

    I haven't had one yet, but the pizza all day thing sounds good, with a few walks thrown in

    Hello!
    Interesting question.. but I would suggest that instead of cheat days you should have a single cheat meal every week. a single meal that you crave the most won't hurt as much as the entire day of unhealthy meals :) . Have whatever you like, but a little will be big enough!

    I am a little bit embarrassed to admit this but every second week I will fast until the evening and eat 2500 calories in chocolate. No regrets. I also fit it into my deficit for the week so I don't know if it really constitutes 'cheating'.
