best foods for non diet days

**jamesz123** · 12-11-2011, 08:34 AM

I just discovered Weight Watchers Coconut candy (covered in chocolate). That thing is as good as Bounty . wow nice.
I also use flavored yogurt, fruit at the bottom - low fat. I do not like diet ice cream so I eat full fat ice cream. Remember this is for my off days (one day a week).
Any other great tasting 'junk food' that is not that bad for you ?
Any suggestions ....

exactely, personally i wouldnt have a ''cheat day'' because that could be stupid amount of cals and completely fvck up my week of hard work

cheat meals are necessary to keep one's self sane and i meself love a full irish breakfast

but that would be just one meal, my diet would be same as normal for rest of day

so what is thing about Lipids and all that . Cheat DAYS that will do something to your fat loss mechanism which will result in better fat loss the rest of the week.. By the way : Cheat days does not mean eat so much that I have to lay down on the bed or something. No, just keep eating till I am about full than eat again after I feel hungry again (and eat whatever I want). I need some advise....I need to fine tune my diet. thx

Uhh... 'junk food' and 'not bad for you' is an oxymoron.

Personally I wouldn't do a full cheat day, and definitely not once a week. But if you're going to do that, then why be concerned with the foods you're eating? Seems to me you might as well enjoy it...

Agreed.
Also as DanB pointed out a cheat "day" could very well mean undoing a weeks worth of discipline.
Now if a cheat day consists of staying realtively close to your daily macros but eating junk while doing so you could prob get away with it - but good luck doing that.
Cheats can be a double edged sword - be very cautious. What starts out as a harmless cheat meal can within a few week spiral into a gorge where almost days caloires are consumed in one meal/dessert. We even have to exercise discipline in this lifestyle even while cheating! Crazy huh?

I'd settle for anything that don't give me the shitz!

Exactly and that is what I am trying to do. I figure if I replace most of my 'cheat' foods with low fat low cal foods like weight watchers candy or certain yogurts etc than I can be better off than eating regular cake and ice cream etc. But I see your point - all posts that replied - thx
