I seen a thread where the Rock shows off the food he eats on his cheat days... I'm just wondering, if your working out rigorously or training for a fight and are following a diet plan, do you allow yourself a cheat day? How many per month, if any?

Cheat Days
Collapse
-
I never do it, unless it's unique circumstances where not taking a huge chunk of cheesecake would be impolite. Some people have a cheat day every weekend and I don't think there's much harm in it from what I've seen with other people at least.
They don't really appeal to me I have to say, I don't know if it's just a personal thing or whether it's something that's become ingrained through habit, but I never get that temptation to eat sugar or grease loaded stuff anymore. Not since I started sticking to a fixed diet.
It's strange, I look forward more to my daily meals now than I ever did when I'd eat a wider range of stuff, and stuff that was notionally 'tastier', pizzas, fried food, etc. I think there's a lot to be said for routine and habit when it comes to diet.
That said, if cheat days work for you then have at. For a lot of people it's a great psychological reward that motivates them during the rest of the week.

if you're training for a fight i'd suggest you wait until after the fight.
if you're just a guy getting in shape of course you should take a day off once in a while, especialyl if you aren't a huge fan of the foods you're eating when you're on a rigid diet.
feeling good is good for you, and eating foods we want to eat is enjoyable. the benefits of that in moderation are hard to measure. you don't gotta eat like a pig on junk food, but i absolutely believe that you should eat whatever you want every once in a while. your stomach knows, bro. it knows.Last edited by New England; 05-18-2013, 04:26 PM.

Been more or less eating at maintenance levels for about 6 months and I really need to up it and start gaining again. Vanity has gotten in the way though.

i'm sure you feel enriched
i have no idea what is going on with that sport of yours, but it looks rugged . big field, too. reminds me of lacrosse a bit. equal levels of violence and legwork.
dude at 30:00 was outLast edited by New England; 05-18-2013, 07:28 PM.
