My cheat day is coming to a close after dinner in 10 minutes. I've had a large cinnamon roll and mousse pie that I bought yesterday at pastry school, orange chicken with lo mein noodles, a Mountain Dew, and now about to enjoy lasagna with french garlic bread.

I've been on this diet for a week now. During that time I've dropped 9 pounds, lost 1% body fat, and a total of 4 inches off my stomach, arms and thighs.
