Cheat meals, mind f*ck

[Youngguns]

In a nut shell, I've been dieting for almost 14 days now, I went 11 days without a cheat meal, but the last 3 nights in a row I've cheated before bed. Each of these three times, I ate 100% what I was suppose to, sometimes having less than 150 carbs by the 5th meal. Each morning I've looked in the mirror and I'm noticeably leaner...

talk about a mind f*ck.

I don't quite understand. If you are eating what you are supposed to, then how are you cheating?

[Youngguns]

I'm eating what I'm supposed to until I get to the last meal of the day...

maybe your not leaner but your muscles are fuller and you just filled out and appear leaner, just a thought

[pumpiron_rj]

Thats crazy! Everytime I cheat on keto I feel the same way and always wake up looking leaner! But it sure does f*ck with my head! lol

maybe your needing to up your cals a bit....so far it seems to be working.

[Silidons]

What are you eating for your cheat meal? Can't be that bad.

[Youngguns]

let's see it or hear it.

How many cals are you getting up until you cheat?

[Heavy Metal]

Why dont you write the whole thing out a first.
Say what diet you are on and also say what you ate as a cheat meal.
Are you looking for attention or help.

Lets see some pics of pink cupckakes already,Cupkake!

keep in mind also that fat loss is a delayed reaction... meaning it takes 2-3 days or so. So when you wake up leaner on wednesday, is is from whatever you were doing on sunday or monday... not what you did that particular day. I hope that makes sense.

Also, throughout those two weeks you're eating clean 95% of the time and only cheating that last remaining 5% (%just an estimate). So which would would expect to weigh more heavily on your progress at the end of that time period. It very well could have had an impact on how lean you could have been had you not cheated but not enough to completely stop or reverse the process.
