I'm no expert, but I've had success dieting the past few months in preparation for a contest this coming weekend, and I think that dropping the cheat day would be a mistake. I have been told by several people that a cheat day is essential. It keeps your body from adjusting. Otherwise I think that your body would begin to adjust to the low levels of carbs, and it would no longer be as beneficial. My cheat days would vary. Sometimes I would simply eat alot of oatmeal and peanut butter on wheat bread, other times I had some ice cream, cookies, and junk food like that. I would recommend sticking with the clean carbs, but hey, if you get to craving something too bad, just give in a little when you first start craving it. If not, you'll just splurge too much when you do give in. Hope this helps a litttle.
