Thanks for the info, i guess it is certainly true that there are times when you just need to reward yourself for all the hard work without feeling any guilt.

Thanks for your comments Richard. Its true that cheat meals can be a million calories. This is where the person who is using them has to be savy enough tp realize if these meals are actually sabotaging rather than helping.

We used to think that cheat meals were o.k., that is before Italian meals, and Cheesecake Factory meals became 3000 calories, even PF Chang’s can exceed 2500 cal.
I dont think its possible to lose weight these days with cheat meal,
after all, take 2500 calories, divide by 7 days and you have added 350 calories
to every days meal that week. That takes a big piece out of anyone’s attempt to lose weight.

Thanks for the awesome feedback. You are right in the sense that what you have described is what everyone should strive for. The challenge is that emotions play a major role in most people’s decision making and logic goes out of the window. This being the case even when people know that they should be eating healthy. They lose it in a matter of minutes. I have found that people can often manage their emotions and be more disciplined if they know there is a reward meal at the end of the week. Off course there are those who abuse this and there is a fine line. But the need for cheat meals decline as one crosses the exercise threshold. This is when the mental pain of not exercising is more than the physical pain of exercising. Thanks for your comments.

Its OK to cheat as long as it is within reason. If you are continuing to get results while having your cheat meal, and that keeps you going, why change it. Just make sure that you are getting results. But if you are not getting results, stop to examine your cheat meal. It could be one of the first things you want to look at. Thanks for your feedback.

Actually I think you need a cheat every now and then. If you stick to a strict diet without cheats, reach your goal weight, then start eating normal food you’ve been avoiding throughout the diet then your body would be surprised and you’d store that food as fat.
I usually cheat, but in a very sensible way. Three sticks of french fries or 1 can of sweetend juice wouldn’t cause a disaster ;p

The whole idea of “cheating” is damaging. The idea of “I’ve been good and deserve this” is damaging. Dieting is damaging.It just reinforces the idea that you can’t be trusted.
Re-learn (you knew how when you were a small child) to eat when you are hungry, stop when you are satisfied and deal with emotions in ways other than eating. You will never diet again and you’ll never feel guilt, stress or anxiety about food or your body. You will never need a “cheat meal” again because you are already eating what you want whenever you want it. Sounds impossible? It is a journey, but so much more satisfying than these fruitless diets that leave you frustrated, angry and fatter than ever!
