I typically have 2 cheat 'meals' a week. Not whole days! For instance...my bf wants to go out for breakfast, ok, then the rest of the day I eat healthy. Or Im meeting friends for shopping and lunch I make sure dinner and breakfast are good!0

Read this blog, he has lost about 30 lbs so far and he says to be sucessful to have one cheat day or free day per week.

Doing it now - 45lbs down!
I have a cheat meal once a week (usually on a Saturday night) and will typically consume about 1000 cals in one sitting. The trick is to keep yourself absolutely on point otherwise - I have a 7 day plan for cals which is: low, low, low, low, med, high, med. I always lose the most weight between Thursday (the end of the low days) and Saturday (the high day). I find it stops any starvation mode nonsense and keeps my body guessing - a straight diet with no cheats has never worked this well for me and I found I was far more prone to cheat. Knowing I have one opportunity to cheat a week means that any desires I get I can add on to the list (I saw an AWESOME chocolate cake this week and a slice will be mine on Saturday mwa-ha-ha!)...0 -
Read the Body Sculpting Bible (for Women). You can have a cheat meal. Great program. I was looking fabulous with their workouts and diet before I got preggers.
If you wanna lose some serious weight and are one that gets side-tracked easily, definately don't cheat a whole day of meals.
Good luck!0 -

I was on the diet where you cheated 6 days and then dieted one day a week---boy did I have that backasswards. I guess thats why I am in the shape I am in!!! Good luck with that--I got to work it every day and exercise everyday or I will fall down again.0

I do! Although I don't seem to crave the really awful stuff like I used to. Still, I try to have one day a week where my calories are pretty high, then drop them right back down the next day. In fact, I'm about to start a program where you fast the day after your cheat day. Apparently, it can do great things for your weight loss, including breaking plateaus.0
