Too many variables in life to plan a cheat day. When I'm in general every day life mode, I'm 100% all in with my simple routine. But if family shows up for a visit, or my kid calls and says dad lets go to the movies. Last week two day power outages, I wasn't going to let delicious food go to waste. Cheat days find me. On schedule today, yaaaayy
It really depends on the person. Your cheat day could be once a month for just an hour. Some eat a small moderate amount, while some will eat a bunch during the day.I've never done a cheat day -- at least not without giving up altogether right after. What would a cheat day look like? All-day eating or a longer eating window?
I started a while back, but don't do them as often anymore. I say start when you feel you can control yourself. You don't want to have a cheat day and then keep eating bad the next day and so on.@Anna thank you for the response! When did you start with cheat days? I think I probably need to get in a. few months of consistency before trying but just wondering! (Hope I'm not hijacking the thread!)
I tend to cheat almost everyday lol hahhahah. I can't control myself and keep on snacking with breads. Starch is the reason why I'm always constipated. I keep on telling myself I'll just start the diet tomorrow which did not actually happen. I need to have self control. I think this happened because my body wasn't able to adapt with the sudden changes I made. I think I should do it slowly and give myself atleast 1 cheat day per week. Wish me luck though.I was wondering, how many cheat days should we have in a month? I currently do one a month at the moment, but I've heard some people have one every week or every other week. What is your suggestion? Should I start doing one a week, once every other week (twice a month) or once a month?
