When cutting for shows, people do have REFEEDS. However, the refeeds are planned and are filled with clean foods. Some unnatural bodybuilders do have cheat meals while dieting, but for most it is just an excuse to get away from the diet.
If you like the 2 steps forward 1 1/2 steps back approach then give that "splurge" meal a go.

It's sounds nice, but the theory of eating a bunch of junk food to cause a spike of insulin could be done through clean refeeds like texflex has mentioned. Anyways, who needs cake and ice cream when preparing for a contest? I don't know about you but the thought of yams and oatmeal about 2 weeks in makes me drool. If you're dieting properly, just about eating tastes good.
If you cheat on your diet,you`ll be sorry with your placing.
Cycle your carbs and look forward to the higher carb days with clean carbs but larger amounts.
You have to suffer a bit if you wanna` win!!
