    I feel leaner after a cheat weekend...why?

    My question is basically why after a weekend of eating casually and drinking lots of champagne, am I leaner?
    I eat mostly raw vegan and am very structured during the week. I eat one meal of rice or quinoa, I cycle 3-4 days per week and lift 2-3 days per week.

    My diet has been going well and I have seen some great results from the program I put myself on. I noticed I began to plateau about 2 weeks ago, then went out of town and ate more. Not terribly just more. Lots of rice..

    Anyways, like I said now I'm leaner. So whats the deal?! and how to I break the plateau?

    Thank you!!!

    Alcohol sometimes tends to have that effect as it dehydrates the body. You may wake up feeling a little tighter/ leaner from the effect of alcohol on your hydration levels. There is also something know as the "whoosh" effect after a high carb/ cheat day.

    When you're a raw vegan anything cooked must be delightful.
