Saturday was suppossed to be my cheat day but I kept waking up in the middle of the night thinking about sweets and felt a change of plans needed to be made. From the research ive done a cheat or refeed day is really beneficial if you keeP fat really low and carbs high. Im about to get some skinny cow desserts but I'm really craving taco bell!! Oh well.

My friend thinks cheat days are all you can eat fests. He diets well during the week but when he cheats he goes all out. He stays in good shape but you can tell he could use some work. Especially in the mid section. I've always been of the mind set that I can cheat, but I keep it under control. Still pay attention to what I'm eating. And I only think cheat days should be done when you are disciplined enough to not cheat during your non cheat days.
And I also agree with your earlier post. Proper diet is great and will cause weight loss, however over time body composition will still look bad. I've always been a big fan of the mirror test because I know the importance of lifting weights/exercise. So I still believe diet=75-80%, exercise=25-20%
ETA: For those who use protein powder, an awesome snack I used last night was taking a scoop and mixing just a little bit of water with it in a bowl until it was a pudding like consistency. I ate it just like that. Protein pudding. I've heard it's even better after being in the freezer for 30 minutes or so

Cheat days have always been about mental stability and mental health more than anything physical imo. It's a day to cave into those dark desires and indulge yourself. If I'm on a cheat day and don't get to eat what I've been craving, I know it's only going to get worse... I'll gorge on whatever I've been wanting instead of eating a reasonable amount if I wait. But cheat days - nay, weight loss in general - is so highly subjective. Just do what works for you.
