Many diets advocate a "cheat day" once a week where you can eat what you want. This is good thing for a couple of reasons
- For you psychologically, you don't feel like your missing out on your favourite foods too much
- It tricks your body into thinking that you are back eating high calories. You see, your body is very efficient at burning what you are consuming, when you reduce your calories significantly, your body slows down the pace. Eating higher calories once a week gets your body working at a higher fat burning "pace"
- I find I feel stronger for mondays workout with a few extra calories in me
Just make sure its just one day you take off though! :)
