nutrional "cheat days"

Yeah sounds about right, I think I'd still keep my cheat meal even if they weren't proven. I know a lad who had a cheat day and wondered why he wasn't losing weight. The fry up breakfast, fish and chips dinner and pizza he was putting away for tea weren't a clue as to the reason why.

My meal is usually pasta or something with carbs, due to the lack of them through the week. Or steak and chips with a fried egg.

 

i cheat every other sunday, nice fat burger with fries

 

definately confusing mate, also virus said that starvation mode is unrelated. also theres always two studies conflicting which is further confusion in the mix.

I just dont know what to believe sometimes on the internet :think still i have 1 cheat meal a week, and 6 days eating well and training/running etc. this works for me due to the 6 days training and eating well, not due to the cheat meal, i just do it because i would kill myself i i was eating healthy the whole time.

 

at the end of the day theres no point going into the ''science'' of things to much unless you really really are interested its all common sense eat healthy occasionally cheat if you feel you have to as long as you are CONSISTENT with your diet and excercise!

 

cheat day today maccas later yum yum

 

cheat days are for pussies.

Ricky Hatton had cheat months and he became a world champion.

Atleast aim for cheat weeks

 

I have 5-6 cheat days and 1-2 diet days, depending on how motivated i feel.

 

i feel it is a good thing to have a cheat day, but i dont have a specific day where im going to cheat, for example yesterday i decided to have a whole pack of jaffa cakes, and stuff my face with roasted peanuts, i hadn't had a cheat day in two weeks so i just called it that:good. I find it easier this way, because say i want to go out somewhere with friends, or family, like the cinema for example its not fun to not eat:good

 

:good

 

It's a celebration bitches!

 

I don't understand why people are so afraid of eating.. Have maccas a few times a week, it will make no difference and will probably help you if you're training hard.

 

Seriously. If you're training your body is gonna use what you eat, so as long as you're getting all your essential vitamins and enough macronutrients to recover/fuel you, you're fine. If you start gaining, eat less. If you're always hungry/irritable/having headaches, eat more. The problem is when all you eat is ice cream and ramen for a week or something.

One thing I'll shy away from in training though is alcohol. That **** makes me sluggish and for some reason my legs ALWAYS ache the day after, kind of like growing pains. Just not conducive to training. Though I'll definitely reward myself by getting annihilated on the weekends if I feel up to it.
