    Just started diet, should I cheat?

    If I'm just starting a diet, which you can see here:

    http://forums.steroid.com/showthread...11#post1233711

    Would it be beneficial if I added two cheat meals a week, 1 on fri. 1 on sat. or would it be wise if I stayed TOTALLY free of cheat meals for a couple months until I get to a comfortable weight. I'm 24 6' 215 with alot of bodyfat I wanna lose.

    Also if I was gonna cheat on fri and sat, what meals should I cheat on?

    And one last thing, what is the benefit of having a couple cheat meals a week? I mean besides keeping from going crazy! Does having a cheat meal or two a week help your metabolism or something. I've done a search and I get conflicting opinions from all the posts I read.

    All up to you bro. having a cheat meal\day tricks your matabolism and keeps your body from reaching homostatis (sp). If you have the will power and you have alot of fat to lose I would only cheat 2 or 3 meals one day of the week until you start seeing results, then maybe bump it up to a full cheat day.

    You really don't want to have TWO cheat days per week, no.

    Swole I was gonna have two cheat MEALS a week not cheat DAYS. I was gonna have 1 cheat meal on fri. and another on sat. (the two days I go out with friends or on dates, etc.).

    Would that hinder my results?

    Also do you suggest, seeing I just started this diet, that I hold off on cheat meals for a couple weeks or months...or can I start cheating right away?

    How is cheating beneficial?

    THAT IS STILL CHEATING ON 2 DIFFERENT DAYS.

    Would that hinder my results?
    PROBABLY.

    Also do you suggest, seeing I just started this diet, that I hold off on cheat meals for a couple weeks or months...or can I start cheating right away?

    I'D WAIT UNTIL AFTER THE INITIAL 2 WEEK PERIOD. EVEN THEN IT'S NOT REALLY NEEDED, BUT FOR PYSCHOLOGICAL REASONS IT CAN BE INTRODUCED AT THAT TIME.
