    I just have one cheat meal a week when dieting. One starter, main and desert of my choosing. Don't worry about cals, protein, fat or carbs. Just enjoy it.

    I eat 56 meals a week. 1 bad meal won't do anything.

    I think I am one of the few that doesn't "cheat" or "re-feed" or whatever you want to call it. I can see the potential benefits physically and mentally though. The reason I personally don't is because I am very satisfied with my daily diet. It could be due to the fact that there's a whole pint of ice cream at the end of every day for me. :)


    wait, a whole pint of ice cream? YOU CAN EAT THAT? REALLY? HOW COME?!

    Yes
    Once or twice a week
    Junk - biscuits, chocolate, crisps, white bread if I'm brave. ;)
    The only negative effect is my dreaded junk food hangover that I suffer from the day after! It's one of few things that help me stay on track with my diet so all is good. :) As long as I'm burning 4375+ calories a week and eating within my macros, I'm fine with the cheat days. I've only got about 10lbs to lose so I'm pretty lenient on myself whilst being strict.

    Also if your goals are to get 'toned' your body will actually look better after a cheat day, Which with help psychologically, but looking at the scales won't, but it balances out lol
