    i don't have cheat days, what i do have is craving stoppers. if i am craving something then i get just a bite of it. i believe if you deny yourself things you want fully then you are more likely to break your diet or go on a bad binge that you regret later. have a little of what you want. not a lot and it will help keep on track while helping you get past the cravings for junk!!!

    I don't believe in "cheat" days...just having a life! Cheating means doing something wrong, and there's nothing wrong with any food in moderation. If I never went over calories or off my "diet," I'd have to give up family dinners, dates with my husband, and taking my kids out for ice cream. NO WAY! A healthy lifestyle should have room for pleasure in it, more than just a few nibbles of chocolate chips or a handful of baked chips.
