Cheat Day Vs Cheat Meal

Cheat Meals are great, if it works for you and restores your sanity.

But, Cheat Days are just an excuse to binge. Binges are very bad, and you can lose an entire month's progress on a binge.

Although, I don't believe in the whole idea of a "cheat" anyways. Because, you will then start labeling food as GOOD or BAD.

But here's the thing - There is no good or bad food. Food becomes bad ONLY when you eat EXCESS amounts of it.

Solution? Eat everything in moderation

Starving yourself and depriving yourself of any food related pleasure will lead to failure sooner or later. Your diet will determine your body composition and your success or failure. Change the way you look at food and you will find dieting is simple.

Tread carefully with cheat meals too, and know they have the strong potential to sabotage any progress. If you're a big eater like @THEROCK it's wise to not CHEAT at all.

Because we can demolish 5k calories in one sitting.

If your focus is fat loss you NEED to stay in a calorie deficit. If your cheats throw you out of that deficit, then that is when progress stalls.

Balance is the key and demonizing food isn't the answer to a sustainable healthy lifestyle.

I work too hard following my eating plan and training to throw any of the work away, in exchange for an entire day of gluttony. Gluttony made me obese. I had 16years of cheat days.

No more, for me. F*ck that.
