Feeling Like Shit After A Cheat Meal

[Bouncer]

Eating a cheat meal after eating super strict can be one of the best little enjoyments in life . Most "normal" people can't understand how great junk food taste when your in such a restricted state. It's like drinking water for the first time after walking a week in the desert. It's just so much more enjoyable compared to those who have it all the time.

That being said, nothing makes me feel like a bigger pile of shit after the fact. Christ I feel like I've just erased all the work and suffering from the past week.

Ate some meatballs and garlic bread and a bowl if ice cream last night around 9pm and here I am at 6:30am burping and farting like a bloated farm pig.

I could probably lessen the effect if I'd eat my cheat meal earlier in the day but there is something about sitting there at night watching tv and stuffing your face like a fat ass that is so enjoyable!

Sunday morning hour of cardio in a hoodie is in my very near future.

The life and times of a wannabe bodybuilder. :D

You gotta remember that cheat meal probably did you some good! Refilled glycogen stores, kicked up the metabolism....
Stay positive bro!

Does cardio in a hoodie make a difference?

sure. the warmer you are the harder the body works to keep cool. more sweat, more heat, more cals burned.

[chuckz28]

I can relate, yea I feel the same. I've actually have had 3 cheat meals this week; Wendy's, Mexican restaurant and a 50's Diner....pics to come...I felt good eating that, like i've never had that type of food in my life. However the next 4 or 5 days since all of these meals, I've been struggling a tad in cardio, fuck! !!

One a side note. ..so I went to Wendy's yesterday and had a triple burger no onions, med fries and med coke (it's been years since I've had soda). I can not understand how the fuck does anyone like soda?! It's basically super super sweet flavored carbonated water, that taste amazing!!!! But I honestly could not drink more than a few sips. Couldn't do it
..now the fties and burgers? !?! Oh yea, it was on and on:D

thought this was a myth... the opposite happens store bf

[Bouncer]

Store bf? Yea I seriously doubt that but I'll be glad to read any articles on the subject.

How often do you eat a cheat meal?

[Bouncer]

Once a week once I've gotten low enough bf wise. Once every 2 weeks right now.

Once your lean enough, (8%ish) you don't put on fat in the same way appearance wise anyway. You stay shredded but just look fuller.

Above 10% though a cheat meal really stalls progress. Definitely sets you back a few day IMO going by experience.

[epix00]

I'm not eating any cheat meals right now while running this blast. But my rule of thumb is a you get a cheat meal based on your body fat percentage as days. So if im at 14 percent then thats 1 cheat meal every 14 days. If im at 10 percent thats 1 every 10 days....etc etc

[Bouncer]

Makes sense. Another little "trick" I do is to replace 2 normal meals with 1 cheat meal. So for example if its 6pm and I'd normally have 2 more meals before bed, with a cheat meal it's only 1 big meal. Kinda offsets the calorie difference so that it doesn't have such a huge impact on fat burning progress.

Oh and I always do 1 hour cardio morning after cheat meal.

Nice bro. Yea diners are cool and all; some are great foods and others are pure garbage.

I've been busy so lacking on posting pics, but you'll like my cheat meals:D

Can't believe last week we ate at 4 restaurants lol...something we just don't do because it's shit food. But as I have said before, man was it great to just eat whatever. But yea felt it for a few days during cardio.

I don't see how peeps do this stuff ED of their lives, I just don't get it. Makes me feel like shit, look like shit and perform like shit. Fuck all that shit :D
