    If I was going to obsess over it, I'd do it first thing in the morning or after a leg workout.

    Cheating plays a very important psychological part in the diet process for many people, myself included.

    i always thought a cheat day was good, not just to help with a depressing diet, but to throw the body off balance

    thats wat i think too.. im sure if u constantly eat the same u will plateau sooner..
    its a good change and plus its lets us be normal.. who wants to eat strict everyday for the rest of ur life?

    plus i rather get my body used to eatin really well and still being able to cheat.. thats a diet i can do

    the body gets used to the caloric intake and this lowers its metabolism (caloric burning ability) so id say a cheat day is more than good. i usually cheat on a sunday.

    unless you are on a very strict cutting diet, cheating is not really necessary.....just by alternating the foods you eat, you can "shock" the system, or simply carbing up once a week....

    psychologically, cheating may be beneficial....but this whole notion of requiring a day of junk food physiologically is bogus

    a carb load day is benificial.........but eating choc, crisps, fizzy pop etc etc.....will never be good for you other than the pshycological reason.

    no one has the genetics to cheat every day or to eat what they like and not put on weight.
    fair enough earlier on in life well you might look great and your young body handles it with the fast metabo, but as time passes it will catch with you one way or another.

    perhaps you might not see it in physical terms or you may, but surely your attery and that lovely heart is copping a beating
