How do you ladies cheat on LE diet? :)

I didn't ever cheat with extra meals, just would eat a food I might not normally eat or splurge on calories/fat.

I see...!
And the information with the „refeed day“ makes totally sense to me!
After DS2 I tried to lose some extra pounds and although I was BF a loooooot and not eating sugar or extra fatty food I didn‘t lose weight for months. Very frustrating!

The greatest weight loss I experienced was when I was eating normally again and didn‘t BF that much anymore! :) I even went under my prior-conception weight.

And sweets scare ME -- I worry I had too many around Easter right before this pregnancy since I consider them so girly that they feel like serious HE cheats!! So they don't seem like LE cheats to me haha

Not purposely at all -- I desperately wanted a boy but didn't know anything about swaying! I did a textbook EXTREME sway for a girl though haha!

I eat extra fat when I cheat, I try to make it PUFA fat though. I very very rarely go over with protein though. I find it difficult to get the 50-60g. If I get to the end of the day and I am low, I make lentils and rice to get my protein number up.

I stopped eating red meat in November and only have eaten it two times in December around Xmas. After that, I decided to be strict about red meat. I miss it. I was a HUGE red meat lover before. Hamburgers, roast beef or ham sandwiches for lunch, sausage for breakfast with eggs. I am salivating just thinking about it.
