The way your body feels the day after overrating. Or the idea that you set yourself back at least 3-4 days, because you felt the need to eat like a pig.

The key is to plan your cheats out in advance, and make sure they are spaced far enough apart.

You won't feel guilty when overeating on a planned cheat day that has been on your calendar for weeks. But if its a spontaneous one, or if your cheat days are too frequent, thats where the guilt comes.

Also I always fast the day after I cheat. I usually eat a can of black beans 24 hours after I stopped eating on my cheat day, and that's it. About 350 calories or so.

That way if I gorge on 5000 calories for my cheat day, and only eat 350 the next day, thats only a 2675 calorie average. My maintenance is 2300, so thats only about 600 extra calories.

One thing I have noticed on this thread is that if you really want to lose weight you need to stop drinking beer except for your cheat days, which again, should be spaced out. Beer is the #1 reason men become skinny fat(or just plain fat).

Don't drink your calories.
