Thread: No more cheat days

    No more cheat days

    This happens every damn time. Yesterday I had my first cheat day in over 2 weeks. I had my favorite, Volcano burrito from Taco Bell. Now, today, all I want is that damn burrito. I feel lazy and demotivated. Does this ever happen to anyone else after their cheat day? Clearly my body doesn't respond well to cheating. So I'm done with it.

    Sure. It happens. Cheat days are overrated anyway.

    It shouldn't be a cheat "DAY" and should be a cheat "MEAL". Personally I try to incorporate my cheat meal into my macros, so even though I get the mental cleanse for the week I still didn't go off my line. (no fast foods or chains)

    So as an example, I will normally eat chicken, broc and rice for lunch. On my cheat meal I have chicken and rice, but my chicken then has tomato sauce and cheese on it, make it into a chicken parm style, I will also sometimes have a diet coke with it. So all in all, its technically a cheat meal but I have kept on track.

    I used to do cheat days in which I would eat significantly more carbs and fats ie jacked out burger, fries and shake. Then I started carb cycling and instead of cheat days I would just increase my starchy carbs but keep fat the same. For whatever reason this eliminated cravings for fatty garbage on cheat days and made me appreciate a gigantic bowl of oatmeal or brown rice. And makes gettin back to diet feel much better.
