The “cheat” can serve both as a physical and mental break from dieting, while resetting many of the hormones that will keep your metabolism humming along.

However, if you’re not careful, the cheat day can be a weekly game of two steps forward and two steps backwards, which means ZERO progress.

That’s just a waste of time and WHO HAS TIME FOR THAT?  Not You!

Here are the 5 cheat day tricks you can use to LIMIT the fat storage on your cheat days, while improving the metabolic effect (and the reward) of eating cheat meals every weekend.

1.  Always try to get some type of intense workout the morning of your cheat day—or try to time a high intensity workout an hour or two before your biggest cheat meal.  This will greatly enhance glycogen replenishment and improve your insulin sensitivity, which will help STOP fat spillover from your cheat meals.
2. Make sure breakfast is not a binge meal and always  include a lean protein source.  This will help eliminate binging and uncontrollable cravings later in the day when the cheating festivities begin.
3. If you tend to go overboard on cheat days (I did this for many years), make sure you limit yourself to just one or two cheat meals for the day. This will help spike your fat burning hormones WITHOUT sabotaging your results for the week.
4. Consume a small amount (8 oz.) of grapefruit juice or eat ½ grapefruit before your biggest cheat meal.  Grapefruit is one of the few fruits that has been shown to help with insulin sensitivity, and it will help you flatline insulin before a cheat meal.
5. NEVER weigh yourself for at least 2 days after your cheat day.

Lower insulin = LESS cheat food fat storage.

Remember, for EVERY gram of carb you consume on a cheat day your body holds nearly 3 grams of water.

So even though you may gain a few pounds the day or two after a cheat day, in reality it’s just “water weight”…so stay off the scales for at least 2 days after your cheat weekend!

Don’t be AFRAID of letting loose on the weekends!

Trying to diet your way through the weekends can be a big pain if you want to have any sort of social life.

Of course, you can’t go crazy and binge on end all weekend long… but in reality, it’s what you eat Monday thru Friday that really makes all the difference.

Disclaimer: If you’re following a diet that’s working for you, and you’re not having any issues adhering to it…

STICK WITH IT.

If you follow my suggested 5 cheat tricks listed above, you’ll have to make a few sacrifices with your eating during the week, but at least you can enjoy your weekends!
