Cheat/Free day!

[saleson]

Sup good people,

Hope all is well. Interested to know what everyone thinks about cheat/free day, where you stop eating clean and demolish junk for a day.

Today is my free day. It was all over for those cream doughnuts when I walked into the bakery this morning. I was going to buy them ( 4 with fresh cream just put on) and enjoy every moment I chomped on them. :pfft:

Tonight, 4 home made hot-dogs covered in sauce and mustard, with chips pretty much wiped me out.

My wife has just told me that there is a king size chocolate and packet of Rashins in the cupboard, that I can have 'if you want them love'. Of course I want them... :clap:

All of a sudden I have a little room left, but glad we are back to eating clean tomorrow.

Cheers

How often are you planning on having these days?

[nemesis]

Maybe I've got it wrong (wouldn't be the first time) but isn't it usually "cheat meal" not a whole day of binge eating?

Depends if you are cycle dieting.

[nemesis]

Ah! That would make some sense :roll: Sorry I'm on my first cut so everything is focused on cutting in my head.

[southernsamurai]

Yeah how often?

Not good unless you want to pile on the fat and build a solid power-ab/shelf.

I personally do a cheat meal to kill any cravings that may have come up over the week. Also puts you in a meke mood and training on a high the next day!

Hi Everyone,

One day, Sunday, is my free day for the precise reason that it ' kills any cravings' that may have built up during the week. Some people make it one single binge meal on their free day, but I make it a whole day, comes down to personal choice.

Back to eating clean this morning with breakfast being porridge, and banana's with some cinnamon sprinkled over it. Yummy.

Bring on the work out!..... \:D/

I have cheat days sometimes but don't go overboard as that is too much of a setback. And I still keep it decent, i.e. if I go to McDonalds I won't have a big mac combo with extra cheeseburger, I would have a grand angus and a grand chicken, as it is much higher in protein and cuts out junk shit like chips

Cheat days where you binge on shit until you are overly full in my opinion will be doing more harm then good

I had a cheat year in 2011 wasgoodman

I think about this as a "re-feed" rather than a "cheat meal" that way I only do it when it's necessary to re-feed and not just because I'm due for a cheat day or i happen to walk past a donut shop.

A re-feed can take several meals depending on how flat you've gotten and how big you are to fill up (see SG's and Vader's log recently).

I like having a cheat like when I go to the seven and binge out for two days eating nothing but burgers,fish burgers,chicken and chip,fish chips and drinking lots of coke as well.

Enjoying the feedback and different viewpoints. Cheat 'year' comment was hilarious. Looks like the grand angus and grand chicken is the winner this coming Sunday.

Put all that rubbish food to good use this morning with a nice 'HEAVY' session, now feeling positive and strong. Now that's a feeling, as you all know out there, you can't beat! :pfft:

Happy lifting! \:D/

I cheat every day. I struggle to maintain weight eating clean all the time as i have an extremely high metabolism. Love my pack of mallowpuffs.

Lol @ cheat year, love it
