Cheat days

[jawbreakerkid]

I was reading a thread over on musclemayhem with pics of Dennis James 6 weeks out from the Charlotte Pro Show. In the thread he talked about how he just had a cheat day consisting of meals like Burger King whoppers, fries, chocolate cake, etc. He'll do this then resume his typical diet the following day. How many of you competitors follow this kind of cheat day philosophy? I saw T-Muscle commented in the thread that he also believed in cheat days such as this to break up the monotony of the body getting the same food/nutrients on a daily basis and it can help speed up the fat burning process. What do you guys think of this?

I think it's a great idea to keep the body confused on this. Hell a person could be 600lbs and go into a state of anorexia. The body will save the fat and burn the muscle. Muscle which also happens to be your heart. Keep the body from ever thinking it's going to starve and it should continue to release it's fat stores as long as the rest of the diet is within stated objectives for leaning out.

One recommendation for you on your cheat day is to make sure you get a "good amount" of protein, but eat whatever you want after that.
