I had my first planned cheat day in about 8 months yesterday. I guess I really didn’t do a ‘cheat day’ – more of a ‘cheat meal’ – but either way it was a planned time off-plan. My wife and I went with friends to a restaurant called the Spur Gastropub in Seattle – they are known for using science and technology and some very creative techniques when cooking (think cotton candy liver pate, deconstructed scallops, etc.). We opted for the 3 hour, 8 course chef’s choice and really enjoyed it.
The good news is the food was all fresh and mostly healthy. But even with small portions I did end up eating a lot in 8 courses and there was more sugar and carbs than I would typically eat in a week. I didn’t have a huge spike in weight today – but will see what happens over the next few days. Either way – my friend Kingkeld proves it is possible to be super successful with cheat days – as long as you have the discipline to get right back on plan the next day.
As I get closer to my final goal weight I hope to add regular cheat days into my plan – so I am hoping this works for me.
Be Happy!
