    I am trying to limit my daily carb intake to under 50g per day, but in order to avoid my body adjusting i like to spike it once a week by going to around 300g of carbs . I do carry the water weight for a couple days but my measurements dont budge at all so i just avoid the scale for a couple days.

    I went entirely off sugar for a few weeks and then drank a glass of chocolate milk and it was so gross cause I could just taste the sugar in it.

    Do you ever notice that you lose more after a cheat day?

    This is my first real planned cheat day after a week of perfect diet and good results
    BUT… I did not enjoy it that much, all the food I used to crave was not as good as i thought it would be and now, I feel sick and bloated.

    Do you feel that way about your cheat days sometimes ?


    Every time i cheat my belly hurts. Its probably because your bodys not used to that much bad stuff coming in your system at once

    Why bother with a cheat day if it's going to leave you feeling sick afterwards?

    IIFYM - eat the foods you like whilst consuming nutritionally dense foods. Easy, right?

    How would a cheat day make you lose more? Weight loss comes from a caloric deficit.

    What's the point in this? I'm not entirely sure.

    I've never thought of it as "cheat" days, but yes there are days I made the conscious decision to eat above maintenance. Very few times though because they generally do leave me feeling sick and bloated. Usually not worth it. Now, if I eat AT maintenance or even slightly above, that's fine as long as I log it and either make up for it later or accept that it will delay my weight loss. I think you're probably defining "cheat" as way above maintenance. To the point of being stuffed. My former self didn't mind that feeling but now I hate it.
