Today is CHEAT DAY! (to be known as Re-Feed Day form now on) I have found that if I give myself a couple of cheat days it does a number of great things for my weight loss journey. Sometimes I will do 2 days in a row like Fri &Sat or some times I split them up. Just depends on what is happening. As long as I keep it to 2 days or less it works great for me.
1. Keeps me from giving up on the other 5 days of eating clean.
2. Resets my body getting rid of the "starvation mode" so I don't retain every ounce I eat.
This has always worked for me in the past. I think it is because on cheat day I eat carbs like bread, potatoes etc that I don't normally eat and this triggers the leptin (weight loss hormone) to fire up the weight loss machine.
