breaking your diet

frostyballz · 07-14-2002, 10:14 AM

I'm just curious to how often people allow themselves to break their diet. I usually break mine every sunday with some pancakes, cookies, pie, or whatever I want. Within reason of course. That little break helps me keep on it through the week.

**Mudge** · 07-14-2002, 10:41 AM

Ditto, once a week sounds good, within reason.

rks1969 · 07-14-2002, 11:18 AM

Lately since the wife's pregnant I can't seem to stay on track as well as I should.There's all this "crave" food that she brings home.

Tank316 · 07-14-2002, 11:33 AM

once a week. with the exception of a cold coors once in awhile. one that is.

frostyballz · 07-14-2002, 11:34 AM

I hear ya about staying on track. I live at home with my disabled mom and I do all the shopping. All she every wants is Butterfingers, Ice cream sandwiches, and oreo's.
Damn, Damn, Damn

**Prince** · 07-14-2002, 11:40 AM

basically the weekends, I am on the 80/20 plan, I eat well 5 days per week, kind bad 2 days per week!

w8lifter · 07-14-2002, 11:45 AM

Is there varying degrees? lol...when I do, it usually only cheese, peanut butter and almonds...is that a 'break' to ya'll?

**Prince** · 07-14-2002, 11:46 AM

I have one bad meal Friday night and Saturday and a couple of beers. My bad meal might be something like pizza.

Tank316 · 07-14-2002, 02:45 PM

my bad meal is a buffalo cheese burger, so really, its not that bad, it just Taste like it.lol

**Mudge** · 07-14-2002, 06:00 PM

Burgers and pizza, my sins

crackerjack414 · 07-14-2002, 11:02 PM

Usuely once A week I will have about a cup of sugar free fat free frozen yougurt. Which has the same nutritional value as milk. Maybe a few slices of fat free cheese or a diet soda once a week.

KataMaStEr · 07-14-2002, 11:48 PM

Saturdays and Sundays I pick two of my meals to eat whatever I want instead of eating junk all day.

ponyboy · 07-15-2002, 10:33 AM

I normally take weekends off because it is difficult being social and sticking to your diet routine, plus most family dinners happen on Sunday night. This means, of course that everything happens in moderation. Gone are the days of the Double Big Mac Combo with Supersized fries (2,000 calories and 100 grams of fat...yikes!). But I don't feel bad about having sauce on my Sub on the weekends, or eating a couple of slices of homemade pie (i think that just turned pornal without meaning to).

bigss75 · 07-15-2002, 11:56 AM

I usally eat bad 2 meals a week. That is most of the time when I am with my buddies and we get pizza or wings. Lately when I am hungry I eat something bad without realizing it Like I wanted to get a piece of bread then instead I ate a donut and when I was done. I was like what the hell did I just do.

British Bulldog · 07-16-2002, 08:35 AM

i have no will power, i will die fat and alone

frostyballz · 07-16-2002, 09:05 AM

Dont say that. It takes time to change. Write a diet out but allow yourself the freedom to snack every once in a while. Don't try to do to much to fast, if you can't cut all bad food out now, don't. Even cutting out some will help.

hurtyhair4u · 07-16-2002, 05:25 PM

Probably more often than i care to note . Oh well i still bust ass in the gym though .

i was just joking, im quite lucky, i have a fast metabolism and im only 10-12% b/f when im bulking, but thanks for the concern anyway mate.

frostyballz · 07-17-2002, 11:34 PM

No problem, glad to hear your just joking.

Stickboy · 07-17-2002, 11:51 PM

Ummm. I'm bad. Decided to cheat on the 4th of July and enjoy myself, and since then been kind of on a non stop cheat.

1) I love rice, and dishes with it (ESP Cajun dishes.)

2) I love pasta (ESP Italian dishes)

3) Beer. I love it, but don't drink it that often. Have had a few in the last two weeks though.

I don't really mind eating well, but.....damn am I blowing it.

Coming from a bicyclist background, and eating carbs like they were going out of style, it's hard to break old habits.

LAM · 07-19-2002, 09:18 PM

When I do cheat it usually make it something fattening vs. something sugarary. Like the double quarter pounder w/ cheese that I got from McDonald's yesterday!

I might cheat every 10 days or so.

Stacey · 07-30-2002, 01:21 PM

My cheat meals are always on sundays.. one cheat meal at night.. its always a grilled chicken sandwhich w/ fries! Yum!
OR it might be Chicken fajitias w/ queso... and chips & salsa at a mexican rest. YUM YUM YUM!!!
And I will have something chocolaty for desert!!

If theres room!
Sometimes though during the week I might have to much PB or ONE beer late at night w/ my hubby!

david · 07-30-2002, 01:32 PM

I cheat often now because I 'm taking something that makes me pig out. Gotta grow large while on this and then next month...... whooo.... I won't know what cheat means!

British Bulldog · 08-06-2002, 06:28 AM

what is it you are taking that makes you pig out?

david · 08-06-2002, 10:53 AM

Lots of Prohormones! LOL!

Emmon · 08-06-2002, 04:22 PM

I break about twice a week but im on an hour of cardio in the gym at least a day so thats ok.

When ive the taste in my mouth of a sort of rubbery, need other food kinda taste, sometimes i just cook bacon and smell it , just 1 rasher.

08-06-2002, 04:26 PM

hmmmmm... good question.
I usually pig out on clean foods during the week
then I will pig out on a combination of clean and not so
clean foods on the weekends.
Basically, I'm always piggin out and stuffing my face
with ridiculuous amounts of food
