CHEAT DAY(S)

Well I need to talk about "Cheat Days" these are not really a day but rather a day you eat 1 blow out meal. Typically I eat at lunch but sometimes it is more social to eat at dinner. The "cheat day" is a day you up your calories and can eat other carbs also. I like to do mine most of the time using low-carb food. I up the quantity and get really, really full. I will hit Sweet Tomatoes loading up on 2 plates of salads- one specialty and the other spinach with all the veggies smothered in blue cheese crumbles and blue cheese dressing. I have not tried it with Pizza, but maybe I will have to in the not so distant future- I make low-carb pizza with Atkins bread mix- the way I make it is awesome! I spent $90 making 2 pizza's that started out almost 3 inches thick on a thin crust. Loaded with cheese, meat and veggies. So we got it- 1 big meal whatever you want to eat. The next day is a FAST DAY! NO FOOD! Water, green tea and light exercise. Lots of water!

This last week because of a business meetings I found myself at dinner on Thursday having Sushi- I cheated. It was a "cheat meal"...I fasted on Friday for 24 hours then ate my typical chicken and broccoli with cheese for dinner. On Saturday I had another business dinner with a 20 oz porter house, 3-4 glasses of Guinness and some garlic bread that was off the chart- I had to try it- I wound up polishing the rest of the garlic bread. I fasted until mid afternoon and was sucked into eating a sandwich with sourdough bread, since I cheated I had sushi again for dinner and fasted only 18 hours before I had lunch and now have fasted about 24 hours. Okay this is not how I want to run the program. I was cheating and fasting and cheating and fasting. I want to do 1 cheat day per week. But I did a pre-weigh in this morning and I am almost at my goal. I think by tomorrow I will hit my goal of breaking the 300 lb barrier. I weighed in later today and hit my goal of 299! Not a great week for me but I still did it! I lost 4 lbs. This next week I want to hit 295 my NEW GOAL! 295!

So that is the basics of a "cheat-day" one or two meals that are more calories and more carbs than you would normally eat. Followed by fasting and light cardio.
