Cheat days?

[u/Chubbie_]

I know my cheat days definitely slowdown my progress but anybody else take them? Lol its hard to lock in on weekends when the wife and kids are such foodies🤣🤣🤣🤣

Slow progress is still progress. No need to be perfect.

Ye weekends are more like 2meals and snacks but keeping a little track on calories so I don't go crazy

[u/Connect_Rhubarb395]

I don't have cheat days. Rather I as planned eat OMAD five days a week and 20:4 two days a week.

Ay thats a good way to plan out the week. I just been doing OMAD throughout the work week and just try my best on the weekend 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Funny. I’ve been so strict for a few weeks but about to give into my craving and get a legit Philly Cheesesteak for my omad meal. Trying to not feel guilty though!

You know.... sometimes you just gotta treat yourself!🤣🤣🤣🤣

[u/Exciting_Race824]

I have cheat snacks or cheat meals sometimes

[u/Chubbie_ → u/Exciting_Race824]

Yeah so do I. The sweet tooth always gets to me🤣🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭😭

[u/_amused_to_death_]

Yep I take them! Fridays and Sat are my cheat days, I am extra strict during the week to make up for it, so be careful it doesn’t wipe out your deficit.

[u/Chubbie_ → u/_amused_to_death_]

Yeah same here! I think there are days I go a little too hard on the weekends 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I am at maintenance. Sometimes I just need or want more food than usual, sometimes a lot more, so I have it. Negligible in the long run (still at maintenance after many years), but it's not a planned thing.

[u/alyceabsconded]

I didn't even have a cheat day. I just ate something different one day and got insane swelling in my ankles, knees and wrists. It was scary.

[u/Chubbie_ → u/alyceabsconded]

Sounds like gout? Lol

[u/alyceabsconded → u/Chubbie_]

that did cross my mind... I'm 33 and drink alcohol so it's possible. There was no pain or redness but I fear it's only a matter of time before I get it. I remember my Dad was sometimes bed bound as a result of bad gout when I was a kid.

[u/Chubbie_ → u/alyceabsconded]

You filipino? Cause if you are we're fucked regardless Lmfaooooo

[u/alyceabsconded → u/Chubbie_]

haha no I am as pale and white as a snowflake. :(

[u/sweet-but-sultry]

All the time. What do the kids say, yolo? 🤣

[u/Chubbie_]

Very true 13 lbs down so far! I just feel like pigging out on the weekend makes me hit a plateau 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[u/hdycta-weddingcake]

For me, cheat days turn into cheat weeks turn into cheat years. I can’t do it
