I have been eating very healthy everyday for like a year, I cut bread and sodas and other useless junk out of my diet, I lost like 70lbs and I am looking leaner, I was wondering if I can eat like brisket and potato salad this Sunday, I wont eat anything else till next Sunday, will this effect me in anyway?

Dude eat it man. You sound like me. I lost a hell of a lot of weight as well. I lost it by good diet during the week and even cheated all day on Saturdays and mid way through Sundays. I still lost a lot of weight even when cheating like that. Theres no reason to obsess over it. I am not trying to lose weight but I still even have days on the weekend where I will cheat on meals more then once. Like this weekend. I have two things from taco bell yesterday because I had not had it in forever. Im about to eat some pizza tonight after dieting well during the day today. You have to live dude.

you'll be alright, but I usually dont try to plan cheat meals, cuz with me it'll always turn into a binge and then next thing you know its a whole cheat day lol

I have been doing that same strategy for like almost 3 years. I have been doing carb controlled for that long (100-125 grams daily). It works great too, but as of lately I have been adding some carbs in, maybe taking me around maintenance levels. I have filled out more, and are getting in better workouts for sure. Only thing I have noticed, is that my arms are less veiny all the time...due to the water from carbs I am sure.

Exactly my reaction lol
You're a bodybuilder dude. You're supposed to be smashing the food down. Potato salad isn't even that bad. Especially if considered a cheat.
Little skinny *******s are the one's who starve themselves and deprive themselves of food for days, not us.
For some people bread causes a lot of bloating not to mention it's a carbohydrate that contributes to the body holding onto a bit of excess water compared to other sources of carbs. Pasta likewise is known to have that effect also.
Bread is commonly cut out of a bodybuilder's diet at certain stages. Perfectly understandable dependent on the person and how they respond to certain foods.advertising/self-promotion not permitted

I guarantee you he didn't cut out bread due to water retention. he cut it out because he was told it is inherently fattening.
I also guarantee you he is not competing nor is he close to a physique where he could compete(not a knock on him just being blunt), and the unnoticeable amount of retention it might cause would be irrelevant at the moment for him and 99% of the population on here. Its not like a couple pieces of bread would make him look 10 lbs heavier in the morning.Any fool can make a rule, and any fool will mind it.

You all act like he spit on Jesus or something by cutting bread.
Mass consumption of bread has been around less than 100 years.
Humans? About 50,000 years.
It's not uncommon for people to have minor food allergies to things like bread and just plain feel a lot better by cutting it out. It's been a tiny drop in the evolutionary bucket that we've been consuming stuff like refined carbs.I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of man to elevate his life by conscious endeavor. -- Thoreau

Noone's said it's necessarily "bad" for them, but this is a bodybuilding site at the same time. Bread is known to contribute to bloating and excess water retention for some people, making the physique often look softer than normal.
We're referring to aesthetics here and the effects some foods have on some people, not political correctness and how healthy bread is or isn't. Noone wants to debate, because it's already a known fact within bodybuilding.advertising/self-promotion not permitted
