The pizza test

[SlavikHavik]

I try and schedule my cheats in to my life. when i did my carb up for CKD id make sure to start it off with junk food, so body was still in ketosis when i ate the fat and carbs, and then have that first meal when i was going out with some buddies or something.
If it ment bringing my carb up a day, or pushing it back. so be it.
But assuming you didnt preapre and your absolutely stuck.
Then have a piece or two. Just pace yourself, its not gonna ruin your diet.

I agree with Allon. If it's your job, then maybe you'd want to avoid the pizza. If you're just training as a hobby, why? Enjoy life! It'll only happen once! Happy mediums, people. All clean all the time is a pain in the ass, and the rewards won't justify all the stress of not eating a bit sloppy every so often. Eating like a pig and having all the tastiest food in the world will inevitably make you...gross.

Both extremes - bad.

Also, the fact most of us here work out all the time means we CAN eat more junkfood than other people without worrying too much Not saying we should all the time, but once in a while will hurt us less than it would the general population. Too often will make getting to goals harder but as long as it is not a daily habit, nothing bad is gonna happen. (Just keep away from macdonalds because they have cardboard in the burgers that make it impossible to digest)

Am I missing something? Can you not go and get something else, or order it to the office, something with it your diet?

I don't understand, did you not know you were going to be at work at that time, if you did then what were you going to eat in the first place?

Good point. However, I think what someone brought up earlier was also an important point - it's harder for men to deny the pizza in front of a group than it is for a woman. Men are expected to eat anything while it's understandable if a woman is "dieting".

Here's a situation I got into this morning and I thought of this thread... tell me what you think of this:
Wednesday night your tire goes flat. Thursday morning you're driving on your spare to get to the gym and then the tire shop where you have to buy new tires.
Post-Workout - you forget your food in your car in a rush and are stuck in your mother's store for an hour and a half. Your options are to eat a brownie or nothing at all. What do you do?

No offfense, but I'll starve......MAYBE, I'd have a slice of pizza under your circumstances, but a brownie?

Actually, you NEVER EVER have to run into this problem. Right now, I have at a minimum, a protein bar, a tuna pouch, a MRP packet EVERYWHERE.....my house, my car, my office, the gym, in my suit jacket pocket (after I put it on, of course.....) Seriously, failing to plan is.....well, you know the rest......the reason I say this is I have a pretty hectic lifestyle and it's been at least 5 years since I missed a meal/snack or had to eat something I didnt want........is there more to life? Sure there is. I just haven't found it yet..

Sometimes you can't plan in advance

An example that happened to me not too long ago

I was at the office, still working at 9pm
I was going from one meeting to another
I had no clue when I could go home
We then decided to have a 5 minutes break

the pizza were already waiting for us
I couldn't escape, go out to buy some other stuff
So it is either eat pizza or look at the other eat pizza

I decided not to eat and when I got home I did enjoyed my can of tuna a lot

I agree a pizza once in a while won't kill anybody but when I want to have a cheat meal I take some other food than pizza

???? Is this for real? You never have to deal with this because you either have a meal already packed, or snacks in your office desk............pizza? Cmon..........

lol ... Kurz .. you literally crack me up sometimes bro with your reactions. You make it sound like the guy was planning to eat shit! lol.

This is happened to me many times bro .. I dont have a problem telling people that I am dieting, because what can they say in return? Look at us .. we are all fat and dont give a shit? lol. If I was hungry, and wasnt going to eat anything if I didnt eat the pizza, I would eat it. I would probably down a couple r-ala, and have 1 slice to hold me over til I get home, and tell your co-workers you are not that hungry if they give you a hard time. In all honesty bro, if your diet is good 90% of the time you will be fine. Eating a few slices of pizza one night arent going to make your abs dissapear, and it will probably do a little good for your sanity. Just make it your cheat day, and scratch your next one. As long as my diet is tight 5-6 days a week, I am happy, and the results dont differ than if I throw a cheat meal in. I think that you and others are thinking a little to hard about this. If you are hungry, and wont get to eat ... then eat some pizza. If you dont want it ... then dont eat it. Very simple.

Point taken... maybe that's why your abs look as nice as they do
