How often do you eat cheat foods and what do you eat?

@MiniMax do you do any (semi)fastting day after the cheat day or you continue eating normal?

thx for the reply btw

You are craving suggar because your boddy wants fuel to convert into fat. Suggar is the fastest way for that.

Contrary to popular opinion , I do believe you need a cheat day, EVERY WEEK. I shall try to explain. A beginner needs the cheat day to stay on track, even if a whole cheat day does a lot of damage, and the advanced BB needs it to stay motivated, although he might not even crave as much junk food anymore and even if he cheats a whole day the damage is minimal. I am planning on writing a lengthy article about this, so I´ll be short here.

Many people forget that the comforts and availability in food we enjoy today has only been standard for the last couple of centuries at most. For thousand and thousands of years before that, people had to periodically go thru times withoutout food. Even worse - our ancestors who lived in caves and had to hunt for their food, only got a nice big meal every few days at best of times. So for millions of years our DNA has been programmed to store energy in the form of food whenever it became available. So it´s pretty audacious of bodybuilders to think they can just ignore their inheritance. That´s the reason why so many people fail and give up in fitness because this whole NEVER cheat NONSENSE goes against everything that is programed in their DNA. So, they starve their body for two months, eat one single pringles and blow up like a hot-air balloon and give up frustrated. On top of it they feel like a loser and who wants to than start again, if failure is so imminen? Humans always try to avoid pain and gain pleasure.

Yes, we as bodybuilders are actually trying to accomplish a pretty darn unnatural thing, if you want to say it in extreme terms. It goes against evolution to loose fat and build muscle. Muscles need to be fed and they are high maintenance for the body. The body wants to store fat for those days of famine - it doesn´t know that there is a Joe´s Pizza just around the corner.


SO; YOU HAVE TO TRICK YOUR BODY INSTINCTS.

How? Eat according to Scoobys nutritional recommendations 6 weeks a day - but on your off day, the seventh, eat whatever you crave and as much as you crave. Don´t feel bad - enjoy it. But don´t force yourself - because it could happen, that after a while of proper eating and great workouts you don´t even crave junk food anymore. But if you force yourself never to eat junk, you will fight your body for the rest of your life. Are you gonna win that battle? ` That´s not my way. With this cheat days EVERY week I went down to about 7% bf. Don´t work against your body. Know it´s physiology and work WITH it to achieve your goals.
