Will a cheat day ruin progress?

Question

I have been on a strict diet, all together I lost about 50 pounds, i am in a SERIOUS weight plateau and I haven’t had a cheat day or meal in over a month but I am very hard on myself and don’t like having them because I’m so scared of weight gain when I’m already in a plateau.

Answer

Cheat meals are actually beneficial 
Especially when you plateau 
Basically when you stay on a strict diet your body gets used to it and no longer works as hard to burn fat and lose weight 
When you introduce a cheat meal your body amps up to burn the extra calories and fat that you consume and basically reboots your system! 
You should be having a cheat meal once a week!

Answer

Cheat days are needed! Go for it, just go back at it the next day.

Answer

Think of it less like a cheat and more like a reward! Our bodies are forgiving and so as long as you’re consistent, one meal here and there won’t break you! :)

Answer

Have a cheat meal instead of a whole day. You’ll do great! Keep it up!

Answer

If you’re at a plateau, your body is probably used to its calorie restriction and it’s adjusting based on how many calories you’re eating (if you’re restricting calories). 
You should up your caloric intake and eat carbs and such for a few months or so and then diet again. 
Do some research on it first! 
And occasional cheat days are fine.

Answer

If you can discipline yourself enough to not let a cheat day throw off what you’ve accomplished. I would work out and skip the rest days. I gave myself one rest day after thirty days of working out and I’m still on a rest day😅
