How bad is a milky way?

Just curious...

I was in the convenience store paying for gas the other day when the wrapper of one of those delectable little treats caught my eye. I didn't take the bait, but i had fond memories of eating those things.

Anyway, for someone trying to cut, how much of a setback would it be? I don't think i'd actually do it... but just wondering...

Ok this is coming froim me reading BFL *running to hide*... Basically Bill preaches that it's ok to have a "free" day once a week to confuse your body into thinking it's not on a diet, and also replace glucogen in your muscles. I mean if you want to include a free day, than on that day have a milky way.

But, obviously, the free days would set you back a bit, but I mean it helps some people to stick to the diet, it's kind of like a motive to keep going.

If you want a milky way so badly just have one, but it's going to set you back (no matter how great or small). Giving in to a little milky way could lead to bigger things.

It's totally up to you to have a free day or not, some people think it's great, others think it's a load of rubbish, once again... your choice.

As for how bad it is, it's a typical candy bar...

You want a Milky Way that bad,

It definately not as bad as a candy bar and it may satisfy your cravings. Protein Bars still are not a good thing to add into your diet but once a week won't hurt. The Detour bars are awesome, they taste like a snickers so I can't wait for this U-Turn bar.

haha

well, i actually havent had a candy bar or even a cookie for that matter in about 1.5-2 years. so im not exactly craving them... just reminiscing.

anyway, what is it exactly about a candy bar that makes it so bad? after all, i thought fats were my friend?

Well the candy bar I believe (although I may be wrong) contai
ns saturated fats (the bad kind), and as a supplement to this, it also has a hell of a lot of sugar...

Candy bars and cutting do not go together.

You're kidding right?

Do a search for sugar, we've covered this many many times!

If you're looking for a rationalization for eating candy bars then I suggest you have one cheat day each week where you eat a couple.

if you're truley trying to cut, don't eat candy bars.
