Anyone have a "blow the eating" day a week?

I haven't had a blow day in months.

Absolutely not. Your either doing it or your not, can't have it both ways.
Most I have done in 16days is go over cals by 200, every other day I have been below. I'm down from 90.3 to 86kg.

Put foods you enjoy in your allowance and eat wise with the rest of it.

Cheat days are for those with weak discipline set to fail!

It is good to increase your daily caloric goal for one day of the week while on a caloric deficit diet. If you stay eating a low calorie diet for a long period of time, over time your metabolism will find ways to preserve energy, and lower your basal metabolic rate- therefore putting you out of a deficit. This process doesn't happen over night, and it affects some more than others, but by increasing calories by 500-700 more than your deficit you will slow the process of your metabolism slowing itself down a lot.

I totaly agree with the above comments, and I have one lenient day a week.

Every sunday I'll usually exercise for about 2 hours (strength and cardio) and go up to about 1800 calories. However, I only eat 1/3-1/2 of my exercise calories I burn during the week. It helps me to keep my diet strict during the week knowing that I'll have the opportunity to satisfy my cravings at the end of the week

I like to do a "spike" day, i.e eating a lot more calories than usual at least once a week.

Problem is: I sometimes get carried a way a little (such as last week) and have a little too many of these days lol

I've started thinking week calories rather than day calories. So if I have calories left, I can have a little extra in the weekend. But I must admit I don't like it when I see my net calories in red at the end of the day.

I cannot understand the logic behind 'cheat' days. The only person you are cheating is yourself and you are making eating unhealthy, or too much, food, into something to look forward to and to aspire to. Surely you should be aspiring to that overworked phrase, 'a lifestyle change'? Part of my lifestyle change is that things I used to snack on daily are now something I eat in small quantities occasionally and always within my calorie allowance. Even then I find my tastes changing and the candy type chocolate I used to eat a lot is now too sweet for me, so I eat more healthy and less calorific dark chocolate, and not very much of it.

To me it's like cheating at golf, going out one day a week and not counting all your strokes so you can boast about how good you are.

My reply wasn't judging or a sweeping statement. It is simply true and was designed to help motivate those who may struggle not to binge.

Motivate. Of course you were. Remember, truth isn't always truth, sometimes it's opinion.

yes it was judgemental. yes it was sweeping. no it wasn't true. no it wasn't motivational. no eating more occasionally isn't a binge.

you're entitled to your opinion, but in this instance your opinion is offensive

How dare you, please look through the rest of my posts before youmake conclusions.
I never reply to judge and always try help or motivate where I can, if I can't I don't post.

Your talking in riddles now, what I said is true. It Is applicable to most people. Those who it may not be don't have to pay attention.

If in your riddle language it Is opinion then please sit down and let people put there's across without offending posters and causing arguments.

You don't know me at all or whether I was trying to help motivate or not, you have offended me and you are also guilty of what you attempted to call me out for in the first place which was sweeping statements and being judgemental, can you not at the very least see how kettle/black that Is?

Ever heard of the phrase people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones?

Maybe I could Have worded it better and maybe I didn't have the one and only answer but this is a board and is for opinions, I won't be the only one to have made a comment like mine and to isolate, offend and Group up on me is far worse than anything I did.

I apologize for anyone I actually offended anyway as it was never my intention, good luck with your goals.

Here's a riddle for you. It's one word. LOL.

How dare I? Ha. Why can you not accept what you posted was your opinion. In that opinion you believed it was true. However, I, and I'm sure many others would find your "truth" offensive. How dare YOU make conclusions about me? ./rolls eyes.

ETA: "Ever heard of the phrase people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones?" That makes no sense with what we're talking about and doesn't apply to this situation. I have a perfectly concrete house...and I don't have any stones, you use far too many phrases you don't fully understand.

Wow, I did good :bigsmile: :huh:

Please see edited part of that message as you replied before I saved changes, I really can't be bothered now as its petty and childish, the fact is I was trying to help, clearly now I realise I could Have worded it better or left it as it may offend some. I still think for some people it could be a useful post but maybe a minority not majority.

All I will conclude to you Is you seem to be better informed. You could have put your opinion or corrected me without all of this and making statements about me.

What I did was accidental, same I doubt can be said for you.
