Cheat Day

Cheat Day, ahhh the holiday for my week.

If you try googling for 'cheat day' you may see tons of argument and various forms and ways in doing it.

So what the heck is a cheat day anyway? Usually body builder and gym goers will be very cautious of what they eat and how much they eat but cheat day is the day where you can eat whatever you want.

Basically it really works for me and I lost 6kg of fats in 6weeks because of it.
This is how i do it.

=My Example=
On top of my usual workouts, I will try to control my intake of calories to about 2000 or below per day. Then comes Saturday my Cheat Day, I will eat whatever I want which I usually end my day with a tub of ice-cream. I will try to eat as much as 9000 calories. Then for the rest of the week I will maintain my intake of food to 2000 calories and less.

So usually when I weigh myself on Sunday, I would have gain about 1.5kg. But on the sequence Tuesday, I will lose 2.5kg so I get a net lost of 1kg.

So what really happen? How come I can eat like crazy and yet I am still losing weight? Well basically when you suddenly increase your calorie intake, your body will increase the amount of lepin in your body which in-turns increase your body's ability to burn fats. With the increased lepin on Cheat Day and still continue to eat less on the other days, your body will burn away the food that you eat on normal days and will continue to burn your fats away.

=Caution=
I am still doing all my regular exercises while applying cheat day, I believe you will not see much improvement if you are using a cheat day and not doing regular exercises or following a diet for the rest of the days.
