ok to pig out on bad food once a week?

[Power5220]

would it be ok for me to pig out on food that is bad for me once a week?

Things with tons of sodium, sugar, fats and other bad things?

I wouldnt recommend "pigging out" but one cheat day a week to enjoy and treat urself for your good behaviour is not bad.

yep once a week won't hurt, I pretty much do every sunday .. but If your getting ready for a competition I wouldnt recommend it

i wouldn't go as far as pigging out, maybe a few bad things

Most people have a cheat meal once a week or so, where they go all out on one meal. Can help break plateaus, keep you from going sane and make you appreciate quality food.

I personally don't get cravings, so I count my cheat meal of the week going out every other Sat with mates to the pub then club. So technically two cheats a month. Hasn't affected me too badly, just have to make sure I drink 2 litres of water when I get back in to hydrate and not be so hungover.

i would if i was you but dont go all out. just cause they call them cheat meals doesnt mean all day hogging out. just have like one thing if you want it.

[alanishellahuge]

if your cutting i wouldnt, but if your bulking like i am, i eat ****ty foods all day long.

Well....Dont pig out the whole day like eating a stick of butter and a pepsi for breakfast, then 2 bags of hot cheetos with a milkshake for lunch, and finish of dinner with some McDonalds.

But...Once a week is what I do, but I dont og 'all out' sprinkling salt all over my food, usually I get something like a pizza when im with my friends, or something along those lines.

PS : If ur cutting, go for maybe once every 2 weeks, or just once a week, but be conservative.
