Cheating on Cutting Diet

[Tomek.. The HULK]

Since my latest routine started... 5 days ago.. i havn't cheaten.. havn't had a junk food in over a week and a half.. the plan is to not have any junk food till at least another month.. i do understand the concept in how a cheat meal boost metabolic rate, how ever the problem with me is that i think that when i have a cheat meal.. i will get more and more cravings (can compare with smoking) and will include a cheat meal more often sometimes throw me off my routine..
So in 30 days or so i will probably go for a nice meal at kfc or binge at pizza hut.. how ever if i have the will power i will just have sub-way...

I think cheat meals are essential. They help to keep me sane, raise my metabolism, and make sure i dont go on a all night food binge...

Nice reply....I agree 100%. If you do not have a "drop dead date" like a contest, and you are doing it purely for asthetics, a cheat meal can be very beneficial.

I have done strict contest dieting 12 times, and it is no fun. My wife says I am inhuman the way I can stick to a diet if need be. Dieting sucks, so anything you can do to make it easier on yourself.....

Figure if you eat 6 meals per day on average, that is 42 meals per week. If you cheat on 1 meal, that is a pretty darn good percentage, about 97%

I cheat on Fridays just so I can still enjoy going to the gym and increasing my size but at the same time, have some fun. Maybe just one meal though. Usually lunch or dinner.
