1. its all in your head
2. if anything, as long as its kept reasonable, it kicks up fatloss
3. you should be strong as an ox the day after/of a cheat

Who gives a shit about what the scale says. A 5-7lb "weight gain" after a cheat meal is normal and will subside within 1-2 days depending on your diet/training.

ya, its probably ****en water.........you are so goddamn depleted, that when your body finally gets some energy, to the muscles it goes....and for every so much of muscle glycogen that gets stored, water gets stored also, probably where the weight is coming from, juset water dude.
