Just wanted to finally start getting more involved, I've read forum for months and learned a lot, but felt the calling to get more involved
Anyway many find a cheat day necessary when eating a whole food, high protein, balanced diet. While I understand the aspect of rewarding yourself and keeping a balance; an idea I have found more beneficial is instead of having 1 "cheat day" per week (some people can really wreck a diet in a day) I prefer to count "cheat meals", if you eat 6 meals per day and screw up 4 of those, you still ate 90% whole food meals for the week, and I think that less than optimal meals spread out through the week will cause less damage to your diet than one day of recklessness.
Just my thoughts, would love to hear some feedback.
