When cheat days are unavoidable...

[atomic sagebrush]

Is there ever a good- or 'better' time to have cheat days on LE diet? I'm guessing leading up to O is terrible, but what about where I am now- on CD2 during AF??

There is no right or wrong time to have a cheat. If one meal or even a week of meals could undo your overall diet as a whole, then we wouldn't bother doing any of this, we''d just do diet for a day or week before O.

Wow do I want a donut now.

Have one!! A glazed doughnut is one of the meals from my sample diet that comes with custom sway plans.

Great idea with the "not feeling well" excuse! Like I said, I indulged in chocolate pecan turtles a few days before conceiving DD. Those yummy turtles certainly didn't ruin my sway and some pastry won't ruin yours either. I am not sure if there's a "better" time to have a cheat day but on CD2 I would not be worried at all.

Even if you indulge a little more than planned, remember to give yourself a good pat on the back for doing the LE diet and doing your best when temptation is high. You're doing a great job - keep up the good work!

Thanks everyone. Feeling downhearted after today but have decided to skip dinner tonight/breakfast tomorrow and then tell everyone tomorrow that I am not feeling so good after indulging today! Perfect excuse I think and it means it was just one bad day as opposed to three.

PLEASE do not skip dinner and breakfast!!!!!!! It is completely not necessary and you are going to make yourself physically ill doing that.

I had breakfast/late lunch today and my calories for the day are around 1500!!! I never go above 1200 or I start gaining weight.
Worried about eating more again this evening, maybe just a light egg white omelette?
I am mad at myself because I *always* skip breakfast but due to AF, being a crampy hormonal mess and this business trip the pastries were just too hard to resist!

Don't dwell on it, remember, cheating is not only allowed but encouraged on LE Diet.
