I dont really understand the point of cheat days....do you honestly think your diet is that bad tasting?...the shakes taste good, eggs and oatmeal taste good, steak and potato taste good, chicken and brown rice tastes good, peanut butter taste good, cheese tastes good, you can even have sushi rolls because that is a good source of protein and carbs...we get to eat all of that and yet we feel we need a cheat day? never...the only time i would ever cheat is when there is absolutely nothing good available to me...because you might as well eat shit foods like kfc instead of nothing just to keep you out of a catabolic state. just my opinion anyways.

More power to you, but most of us looks forward to a little treat (or huge in this case) for sticking to a very disciplined nutrition. The egg whites, tuna and oatmeal doesn’t necessarily taste “bad” or else we wouldn’t be eating it…But face it pizza is more appetizing than two slices of wheat and peanut butter…Plus millions of American eat these junk food daily, so we let ourselves enjoy it once in a while as well…..Bodybuilding is supposed to be enjoyable and fun, not torturous to the point we can’t enjoy a beer or piece of cheesecake….

Your body reaches a point of homeostasis, you need to shock it once and a while. If you are hardcore dieting, a cheat every week is not necessary, but you should have one at least on occasions. This is like a bb's "playa's holiday"... enjoy it!

Good point! Totally forgot about thought...i remember reading that somewhere.

Not to mention a cheat day is good time refill glycogen stores as well as jack insulin up throughout the day which has a positive effect on Leptin signaling.

**IronFreakX** · 08-18-2005, 07:50 AM

You can always do clean cheats...

***Giantz11*** · 08-18-2005, 07:51 AM

That's basically what I do, Hi to Mod GI carbs all day with a lot of protein. Very little fat. Then I'll give myself one meal that has alot of bad fat.

**Flex2winny** · 08-18-2005, 07:53 AM

I havent cheated in years..........the worst thing on my diet is sf syrups, and peanuts/;almonds.......gum keeps me sane.

I just dont see the point, when I make a thicky frost prebed shake as good, if not better than any milkshake.......oats, splenda sf choc syrup is more appealing than cake.........fast foods, although sometimes good, make you feel like shit after.

**IronFreakX** · 08-18-2005, 07:57 AM

mmm...10 scoops of ON 100% vanilla whey...with Ice cold water...and some heavy cream for a pro/fat meal with some splenda...

and you get about 230grams of pro...not bad

cheating is very comparable to your workout routine... what do you do everyweek???? the same sets, the same reps, the same exercises? Probably not, because your body is constantly becoming use to the same ritual, therefor, everyweek you need to change up your exercises, reps, and sets to shock the system. this is comparable to "cheat days", they do serve a purpose.

***Giantz11*** · 08-18-2005, 07:58 AM

No, you def need to cheat or Refeed at some point. Make sure that you are doing this, it becomes very important as you get lean.

that a girl...
A cheat meal is a cheat meal so eat whatever you want and how much you want. Sometimes my cheat meal turns into meals. Its hard to just have one once you get that taste in your mouth. Even harder during the summer with icecream, barbeques, and all that shiat......

is cream a good fat source? this sounds good mmmmm

***Giantz11*** · 08-18-2005, 11:28 AM

I think you can utilize cream from time to time yes, its a saturated animal fat.

Bro, go ahead and cheat...

Once a week take a break from weighing your food and calculating your carbs/protein, just eat like a "normal" person!!

IMHO, cheating is also about taking a psychological break from all the food-related "stress" we go through the week!

You see, I got to 5% BF cheating hard as a mother****er every Saturday... I actually had hit a roadblock and stopped losing weight, but when I started cheating, the weight started flying off again, so there is some benefit to cheating as well...

So EAT, EAT, EAT, you only live once, make it count!!!

And the treadmill awaits tomorrow!!
