    Well that's going to be different for each person. The term "dieting" is old fashioned and generally not used by most in the fitness industry. "Eating clean" is just a term used when speaking about making changes in your diet towards a healthier lifestyle.

    "eating clean" seems to be a undefinable term.

    Thanks guys!

    I think cheat was the wrong word. I don't mean cheat as in eat crap. I will eat relatively well every day but I will still have chocolate if I fancy it on a weekday (IIFYM style).

    What I meant was is it ok to eat more on weekends and less on weekdays? Because that's what I seem to be doing naturally.

    This is how I have been maintaining my weight loss for almost two years. It's worked just fine for me, in terms of (1) weight maintenance; (2) adherence to a long-term maintenance plan; (3) sanity.

    I can't log every day. It would make me insane. But I can log a deficit 5 days a week easy, even including daily chocolate and other treats, and I have no problem adhering to my plan knowing the weekend is "free".

    While losing weight, I had 2-3 "free" days a month. Never once impacted my progress, because I was gooooooood the rest of the time. No problem getting back to it the day after a free day.

    Just my method, and it's been pretty successful for me. there's a reason I've been at this for 1043 consecutive log-ins :)
