Decisions, decisions.... (fun food thread)

On Saturday nite, from 8-9pm, I can eat anything I want!! Hmmmmm....

Now if I can only decide.....I've got a big bag of peanut M&Ms & cookie dough in the freezer...... Cheeseburger or steak?

Jen, keep it clean. If you load on that fat & shit you will pay for it. I don't really see the point of that cheat, but just keep it clean. If you load up salt & shit, its going to take you a while to clear that out. Just saying keep it clean.

Jens,

lil over two weeks... is it worth it..? Honestly think about it.

Is this something that the trainer has suggested? Did you ask him why? what it would do for you/against you? You aren't depleting so hard that your body has to have a huge refeed so thats why I am stumped as to this decision. Its giving you the opportunity to take a leap back in your progress and IMO that is just asinine.

Are you within one week of what you want to be comp date... IE all you need to do is Water deplete? If not.. then why further your progress for 5 minutes of satisfaction.

Im not trying to make you feel bad.. just saying think about it.. the money you put into this, the time, the work, and then decide if that one day of cheats two weeks pre comp is worth the set back it may cause.

He seems to think that due to the hard diet over the next couple of weeks that I *should* have this cheat meal.....

Damn!

 

[Sassy69]

I dunno -- honestly compared to stuff I've been thru, your diet is not all that hard and I think throwing shit in there now is just gonna bog down your metabolism. I just don't see the point. I've never heard of this approach before and I just don't see the point.

*steps off soap box*

Jens huney I have to agree with Frisky and Sassy, I don't understand why he would what you to jeopardize all that you worked so hard for. Your body is no longer "used to" that cheat meal, and you will bloat up from it, and then have to fight to get that excess water off.

Personally I would not do it.

Jens,

All I can say is do what you feel. You have seen all of our logs not to say that what we did was 'right' but i can't see the logic in a cheat meal right before comp.. not this close.

All we are here doing is trying to help through experience.. thats all. Not one of us want to give you bad advice.

I'm gonna step off the soap box now too.

Oh I know you all are just trying to help!! I be feelin' the love....

I'm just afraid to deviate from the exact plan for tracking purposes.....since he said to eat "whatever" then for proper tracking per Fred shouldn't I follow it?? But if it'll take 1 week to shed all the water then now I'm not sure....He's having me add in Dandelion root later next week too....




Plus I bought a big bag of M&Ms.....

Well if you go for it ovaries to the wall I say you can never go wrong with pizza and pistachio ice cream for a cheat meal.
