The Truth about Cheat Days
Allowing yourself a cheat day can damage your diet. Research has shown that individuals who eat consistently seven days a week often have more success reaching fitness goals than those that stick to their diet five days a week. It is important to let yourself indulge but it is also important not to use that as an excuse to justify back-tracking your entire weeks efforts.
If you feel you have to cheat, try cheating on a meal instead of an entire day.
