    I don't believe in cheats, I eat less than healthy stuff when i have a craving, i just eat it in moderation.

    I log everything but on the weekends I tend to have a few beers and might go out to eat once. I still try to pick the "healthiest" foods though, while I'm out.
  • A day off cheat day works. As long as your not gorging yourself on junk and fatty foods! If you have an office party of something during the week, splurge that day and take away your weekend splurge day.

    I would still log everything, just not making such healthy decisions like my strict dieting days.

    Then again, I treat myself to something like Chex Mix Dark or some other healthier version of an unhealthy snack during the week so I'm less likely to go ape **** in the fridge over the weekend.

    I think for me, the key is to not deprive myself. If I want something, I have it. I just do it in moderation. I tend to fail, when I feel left out, or cheated!

    I think you can have a cheat day and it will actually help you lose weight if you plan it.

    If you are not counting calories everyday will be a cheat day because you really don't know what you are consuming in calories. I was horrified when I found my favorite burger was 1100 calories not including fries and my daily intake to lose weight is 1700.

    When I am not counting I don't lose weight plan and simple!
