Can I Have A Cheat Day With I Hop

What do you eat on your cheat day?

Notice that needing a cheat day implies you are doing your plan wrong.What you mean is a day of plan reversal to resolve problems you created by doing your plan wrong. Meanings are important.As a low carber my plan reversal days, if I end up needing them, are low fat high carb days. I eat the carbs that are the most filling, the lowest glycemic load and that I find the most boring. When I eat corn I’m tempted to eat more, so no corn for me on a reversal day. When I eat brown rice or beans I am full and have little interest in more, so those are my high carb foods on my reversal day.Using those principles you should be able to decide what to eat. High fat low carb if you are a low fatter. Foods you you think are boring.

How often can I have cheat day?

How about never?The idea of a cheat day falls into place in two entirely different perspectives.You are trying to loose weight and is on a diet and is looking forward to the occasional day or meal you are excused from your diet. Diets don't work. They don't make you any healthier either. Diet is not a list of foods you should not eat. It's just a list of healthy foods that you can eat without worrying.You are a body builder trying to bulk/cut. In this case, your diet will be based on a calorie suprplus/deficit depending on your goals. In this case, 'cheating' is a more practical and beneficial approach. You are not restricting yourself from food or starving yourself. You are just making healthy choices (unless you are thinking of dirty bulking. But then the question of cheat days won't pop into your mind. What would you do? Eat salad? LOL) that help you achieve your goals with regard to your nutrition and training methods. Even in this case, one simply does not have a cheat day. You can have a cheat meal. You don't binge on those oreos or pizzas all day. You eat those for one savoury lovely meal and enjoy it to the fullest. You move on with your carefuly crafted nutrition plan then.Unless ofcourse, you are Dwayne Johnson. If you are indeed The Rock, the go ahead and enjoy your cheat day/week.

What do you eat on your refeed (cheat) day, and how often do you do it?

While dieting (calorie deficit), I usually have cheat days once a week, and it would even be better if I could do it once every 2 weeks.I do cheat days moderately, in which I don’t eat until I feel uncomfortable, but instead I’ll have a wider variation of foods to be eaten ; such as ordering deep fried meats and fried rice instead of strictly having boiled meat and whole grain bread (both meals having the same portion). That way I could enjoy the cheat day better.Moreover, I won’t just let the cheat day be forgotten. I usually count the extra calorie I ate during the cheat day and I’ll do cardio the next day to remove all extra calorie / stored fats, then I could forget about it. Although if I refuse to do cardio, I’ll count all that extra calorie and divide it to 7 days which basically shows my weekly progress and be a part of my decision making factor when setting my calorie intake for the week after that.

How often can I have a cheat day with unlimited calories?

I would never advise someone to save up so that they can “eat with abandon”. Food is not a reward. Foods are not “good” or “bad”. One should always be aware of what they are eating, regardless if it is a “regular” day, or “cheat” day. If you want to share a dessert on a Tuesday because you went to the Cheesecake Factory, then have some. Be aware of it. Work out the next day, and dial in your food a bit. That’s it. There is no need to eat 8,000 calories or more on a “cheat” day, which can completely wreck your stomach and domino over the next few days, when all you wanted was a 300 calorie cupcake.I have never been on a diet, per se. I tried to do 40/30/30 Carbs/protein/fat, for about 3 days just to see if I could do it, but as I sat miserable, shoving a handful of ham into my mouth to meet protein for the day, I realized that I am more a 50/20/30 kind of gal. I have been at the same weight since 1996, and I am 43 now. If I go to the Cheesecake Factory, you are damn sure that I am having half of an entree and half of a piece of their celebration cheesecake. The next day I will work out for, and probably have oatmeal for breakfast instead of a bagel with butter, and skip the glass of wine with dinner.Food is not reward or punishment.

What is your favorite cheat meal to have when on a diet?

I don't do diets, but I've pretty much sworn off convenience food at home (I've never taken a job where they played an appreciable role. I didn't learn the craft of cooking to open tins).But I get a craving for tinned Ravioli and frozen Pizza every now and again. I could make better ravioli or pizza from scratch for the same money, but that's not the point. Those junk foods represent cherished childhood memories. Once, twice, six times a year I just want that miracle of opening a container, heating the contents and getting something delicous I have no idea how to make. Never works, partly because I know how to make it the traditional way (in my sleep if need be) and how the industry makes it (and out of what) and partly because my definition of delicious shifted a bit over the last twenty-five years.Still, every now and again, that stuff satisfies something deep inside me. Whether it's because of a reminder of simpler, more naive, possibly happier times or something else, I have no idea.
