A member asked:
If i want to lose weight do you recommend cheat days? (a day of the week/month where you eat whatever junk or fast food you want)
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: all you will do is defeat the hard work you have done the rest of the week/month. It's total calories that you don't eat but do burn off that leads to weight loss. It's 3500 calories to the pound. You can't learn how to eat properly for the rest of your life if you start off with cheating.
