My first cheat meal after 6 weeks of dieting. Will it set me back?

[starskulker]

I have been doing great on my diet. I am down under 9% on my goal to 5%. I plan on doing a cheat meal tonight since I have yet to do one. It's going to be Chinese food and I am wondering how far back this one cheat meal will pout me or will it stimulate my metabolizm and actually help me when I go straight back to dieting tommorow morning?

fuck no it wont wreck your diet. it will actually help your metabolism. remember our bodies are adaptive beings that want that homeostasis.

No a cheat meal is not going to set you back.

Sodium is not a bad thing when you are a BBer and eating a clean diet.

The issue is with all the 'hidden' sodium when people have a questionable diet and eat a lot of processed foods and take away food.

Sodium could actually be considered to be anabolic.

how is the sodium anabolic? i have never researched this. does it have something to do with water retention?

I salt everything I eat with Rock Salt

Reducing sodium too much can have a neg impact because sodium and potassium are necessary transports for cells
