Cheat Day Question!

[donescobar2000]

Yesterday was a refeed / cheat day for me. I did well over 600 grams of carbs complex and simple. A lot of simple. I know I did well over 300 grams of fat. Saturated and Mono etc. I went overboard. Especially with eating a shytload of oreos almost the whole pack. 2 slices of cheescake, 5 slices of pizza, and one pint of ice cream. Yup I totally overdid it.What effects could this have? Protien matched my body wieght if not more. It was a splurge day where I basically just said f... it! Today I am back on track though. I am cutting by the way. I am 5'4 166. Also I am pretty solid. Possibly 10 pounds of fat if not less. I have been told I am really low because I have a lot of vascularity.

probably not too bad, it's only one day. i imagine you'll get some hardcore water retention...

 

[donescobar2000]

I did not retain water at least I do not think. Well before it I could see the veins in my arms really good. I can see them now but not like before. I have ran for 2 days now for 60 minutes. I did not plan it to be that long but I took a different route on my jog.

I think "days of crap" as I call them are almost necessary every once and a while. One day probably won't kill you although for me, I end up retaining more water than the hoover dam .

Mine was HORRIDE yesterday:
1 Box of cheez-its in the morning
Shogun for dinner complete with rice, noodles, steak and chicken and sushi
And my midnight snack was, here's the worst of them all, 2 Big Macs and a Super Size fry.

I'm SHOCKED I didn't keel over in my sleep last night .

Oh well, now its back to the old habits.

lol...i normally have one every two weeks but I did go overboard. At least I think so.

whats past is past, its not going to kill you that badly just concentrate what you can do to prevent it from happening again

All I know is that I kicked my workout's @$$ about 20 minutes ago. Its nice to get some carbs back in ya after a while (although it did send me into a coma, I slept 10 hours last night )

Don't sweat it...I do it once a week....I still drop fat...just hold the water for a few days....I usually drop about 8 pounds over the weekend prior to the refeed....most of it is water.

I just got done with my refeed...I feel better when I am in ketosis anymore. I think I may go make myself puke!

 

[donescobar2000]

Lol...I here ya. I did 60 minutes again running outside.

Well I'm doing a 40 40 20 split. Someone told me if I can see my abs not to worry. I do see them slightly. Which I guess mean I am under 10% BF. But I know I will not get oreos anymore. Those things are too baaaaad. By the way I have had a couple of those days where I can not move. I did it when I was ketoeing. Unfortuanatly ketoeing is not for me. I did loose some wieght on it but killed my stomach. I have to keep my liver working right.

i do cheat days and go overboard alot once a week and notice it actually helps me in many ways!

Most likely the reprocussions will be something on the order of..

1. Increased leptin levels.
2. Decreased hunger and cravings during the following week.
3. Mental relief from counting and worrying about calories and grams for one day.
4. Strict adherence the following week due to a little bit of guilt and all of the above.
5. Gaining the freedom to repeat it as you realize that you still came out leaner the following week.
6. Reaching your goals because you aren't killing yourself to get there.

I think that covers it.

 

[Babyfaced Assassin]

well said vageta i actually agree with those!

 

[beastboy]

I agree with Vageta as well......I know I will be lighter the next week, no matter how I handle my refeed.

 

[donescobar2000]

I hear all your comments. This weird because I feel the same lighter I guess. I hope the past two days of cardio helped. As long as I can see my abs slightly I'm satisfied. So I guess Chinese food and ice cream won't hurt me on Friday? Well It is arms day. So I am going to the gym. P.S Vegeta what you are saying sounds like nothing but the truth...thanks.

lets put it this way, i have days where i eat tonnes on cheat days and feel shit but then i've had days where i wouldnt eat that much and for some reason (i take progress pics on mondays) my monday pics always look more ripped after a cheat day where i've eaten alot

That is due to your muscles and glycogen being refilled.

 

[donescobar2000]

I noticed that too myself after coming off the ketoeing which I was doing a while back. I was like....Damn!!!!! I was new to refeeding then. After that I stuck to 40 40 20 diet. It caught me off guard. I was ripped as hell. Still am...I guess. So people at the gym tell me.
