Cheat Meals

Many say that "cheating" is an illegal method which is being used to achieve a certain objective or being rewarded for an ability by dishonest means.

I say that a "cheat" is the reward that you get for all the consistent hardwork and discipline that you have applied to achieve your goals. Hence, "cheating" is good for you IF it is being applied the right way. 

People may argue...."If we are doing everything right and everything 'clean', then, why do we have to cheat?" This concept DOES NOT apply to muscle building and dieting guys. It is all about shocking your system. You know how people say that you have to always change your workout routine in order to keep your muscle and body guessing? The exact same thing applies to dieting. You must have a "Cheat Meal"!

Let me clarify here that when I say you must have a Cheat Meal, I don't mean that you go out and eat 6,000 over calories of junk in a day. All I'm saying is that you should have ONE meal where you eat foods that you love. Indulge yourself. Throw in some sugars, chocolates, cakes, carbs...anything that you love in that ONE meal. You have got to reward yourself for a better gain.

So, whats the rationale of having a Cheat Meal? Your body is much more intelligent than you think it is. When you eat clean foods all the time (i.e. high protein, low carbs, no sugar, etc), your body will get use to it and they'll know what food that will go into them everyday. This will allow them to be in the comfort zone and "seat back and relax" and do the 'normal' things that they do every time (i.e. accept and digest chicken, fish, egg whites, lean beef, fat-free yogurt, etc). They'll be able to find the most efficient way how to break those foods down. Hence, your body will reach a plateau state and your metabolism will get lower and lower. That's not what we want guys. We want our metabolism rate to stay high all the time.

So, when you put in some "Evil Delicacies" (i.e. ice creams, extra cheese pizza, fried chicken, etc)  into your body once in a while...your body will go, "Holy sh**t! What the hell is this?! What do we do?! What do we have to do to get these foods out of us?! This is MADNESS!!". Hence, what will your body do? They'll have to work extra extra hard to digest and burn all your cheat meals. This increases your metabolism which is good for the fat-burning process. 

So guys, choose a day in a week and make it a day where you'll be having your cheat meal. Eat anything you want, anything that you've been craving for during the other 6 days of the week in that one meal, with a motive to shock your system, NOT TO SATISFY YOUR APPETITE! Personally, I would recommend you to do it early in the day so that you have ample of time to burn those calories throughout the day. 

Last point to remember guys, you must only have your cheat meal ONCE a week! All your other meals must consists of clean and healthy foods. Otherwise, a Cheat Meal will not benefit you as well as your body and muscles. 

All the best! Thanks for reading.
