Cheat Meals: Do They Affect Weight Loss?



Cheat meals are meant to relieve some of the pressure associated with strict dieting, but do they make a difference when it comes to the pursuit of weight loss? Cheat meals can be helpful when it comes to meeting your individual weight loss goals and developing healthy eating habits.

How Can Cheat Meals Impact Weight Loss Success?



Cheat meals can help you achieve your weight loss goals in a few ways:

  • They Break Up The Monotony Of Diet: Too often, diets lack variety and become monotonous. By switching up your meals with a special treat once in a while, you can create a more enjoyable and sustainable diet.


  • Cheat Meals Help You Stick To Your Diet: When you plan for the occasional indulgence, it makes it easier to stick with your diet on a day to day basis. It’s easier to stay motivated when you know you can have a treat soon.


  • Cheat Meals Balance Out Macronutrients: Eating a treat once in awhile can help balance out your diet. Many cheat meals are higher in fat and calories, but they may also be higher in carbs and protein too, which can help provide more balance in your diet.


The Role Of Mental Health


Cheat meals can also have psychological benefits; when done in moderation, they can help improve your mental health. These days, many people are facing stress and burnout due to their diets, which can make it difficult to stay motivated or stick with their diet in the long run. A strategically planned cheat meal can help break up the monotony of dieting while improving your mental health and outlook on dieting.

Will a cheat meal ruin progress?

1. Will a cheat meal ruin my progress? Lets start out plain and simple, a cheat meal will NOT ruin your progress, assuming all else is right with your diet and workout plan. I would advise against devouring 2 large pizza’s by yourself, but theres no reason why your cheat meal would ruin progress if you do it right.

Do cheat meals stop weight loss?

Cheat meals will not necessarily stop weight loss, but they can hinder your progress if they are consumed too regularly or in excess. Eating a cheat meal once in a while isn’t going to derail your progress as long as overall calorie intake aligns with your goals.

How often can I have a cheat meal and still lose weight?

There is no specific guideline for when or how frequently your cheat meal or day should occur. Often people will include one cheat per week, but this can change depending on what the person’s health or weight loss goals are. Ultimately, it is up to you to decide how frequently, if at all, you should indulge in a cheat meal or day. Remember, the goal is to pick something that you enjoy, but also make sure it fits into your overall nutrition goals.

Will a cheat meal make me gain weight?

A cheat day causes some large weight increases, but weight because of water, not fat. Depending on what kind of diet you were on, loading up on carbs on a cheat day can increase your weight noticeably. If you were trying to lose fat, you likely were trying to cut carbohydrates out of your diet. Eating a high-carb meal will cause a surge in water weight because it increases your glycogen levels, making your muscles appear fuller and thicker as well as giving a higher body weight reading. However, this extra weight is temporary — eating high-carb meals doesn’t have any cumulative impact on your weight. Eating high-fat meals can have a greater impact on weight gain because fat is very calorie-dense and large amounts can add up quickly, while carbs don’t.
