Cheat Meal

PhiKapMiin · August 2018

I’m sooooooo looking forward to cake! I am a sugar-holic! I eat a little sweets every day since I’m just starting to wean off copious amounts of sugar. What’s your cheat? Your temptation?

Feel free to add me! My goal is to decrease bodyfat while increasing muscle mass!

I like almost everything, so I'm always always tempted to eat something, but that doesn't mean I have to eat all the time, or that I do. I don't cheat, I eat anything I like in moderation. This has been a lot easier after I stopped referring to cravings as addiction and stopped demonizing foods, food groups and nutrients.

I started my journey with a cheat day. I’m really good for 6 days then get a cheat day on day 7 if I was good for the week. After 4-5 weeks, I just did a cheat meal instead. I allowed myself to have whatever I wanted on the cheat day and realized it made me feel like crap the next few days so I have anything I want now for just a few hours instead of the whole day. Last cheat meal I had tacos, a margarita, and a big ice cream sundae. I never feel deprived and no longer have cravings!

I had a cheat day Saturday because it was my 50th birthday. I went to 9Round & did a double & they were nice enough to give me 10 free birthday burpees! I had buffalo wings & a couple of tasty beverages for lunch, then for supper, my favorite meal is Misty's lobster mac & cheese & a free piece of chocolate cake (and a couple more tasty beverages). I was back at it today & I had a good time.

If you can't go out & have a good time occasionally, it's not really worth it IMO.

I love cake too, along with other desserts, sweets, cookies, chocolate, icecream.... You name it!

I don't cheat though.

I don't have any cheats or temptations. I gave myself permission to have anything I want, no food is off limits. I just prefer more nutritious foods now. It took a long time to wean myself off the sugar, so kudos to you for finding a strategy that's working for you. You might find that the less sugar you eat, the more foods taste *too* sweet. The sugary stuff I used to crave now tastes off, which makes it easier to make different choices.

I don't cheat. I fit things I like into my calorie goal...occasionally I go really crazy and eat things that don't fit my calorie goal!! :laugh:

With 3000+ calories I eat daily, there is no so-called cheat meal, I can easily fit any food I want into my diet. Believe it or not, if there's two types of foods I enjoy, anything with coconut and Lobster with garlic butter. I can't get enough of these two.

That's the beauty of counting calories. Nothing is off limits so you dont need a cheat day!
