Swolecats cheat day....

[excelin]

do you guys usually always have one cheat day a week? Since I have been cutting I usually eat whatever on sundays, I just make sure to get enough protein. Today was the first sunday in a while I didnt cheat. Just wanted to see if I would see any difference. Im thinking with a lower carb diet I should prob have a cheat day in there. Maybe every other sun. any opinions?

Yeah have one. Leptin, thyroid, etc, etc all drop with prolonged dieting w/o overfeeding which will do more harm than good.

Bro- I don't know....I just don't buy into that theory........I haven't had a cheat days in many months, and my gains continue...........who knows, maybe it's just me, but I just felt like such ass after a cheat day that it wasnt worth it.............

Yeah it's gonna very depending on if your sensitive to leptin and your set-point. For a long time I was never below 16% so my set-point is fairly high meaning leptin levels drop quickly. If you've always been fairly lean then re-feeds probably wont do you much good other than if you have trouble restricting food intake for a long time.

I def understand feeling like an ass after a cheat day. I've used just about every GDA available at some point and always ended up bloated or feeling like shit. Good luck with the continuing progress bro

Thinking about a box of krispy kreme gives me a headache...

Makes absolutely no sense............

Why not, it totally works for HIM, so for HIM it makes complete sense. I've personally witnessed this gentleman undergo a total body composition change, and yes that includes this kind of food on the scheduled cheat day. Just because you choose not to do it, does not mean it "makes absolutely no sense". You ask daily for a ton of advice and have a lot of questions on this board, so I'm very unclear as to how you can tell someone else that what works for him makes no sense.

OH SC - settle down...........OK, I was thinking out loud........For me, it makes no sense........my mistake........he's a big boy.......he can speak up if I bothered him............

 

[~SC~]

He's not around, so I spoke up.

Why tell me to settle down when all I did was ask you a valid question?

Exactly, for you it makes no sense, but you aren't him.

Don't be so defensive, lower your dosages and up your carbs.
