Depends on the diet...if you are just doing your own thing, monitoring calories, trying to eat healthy, exercising...then no, a "cheat day" wouldn't wreck everything but don't go TOO overboard and pig out just to be eating...\n\nWhen you deprive yourself for too long of the things you enjoy, is when you're more likely to go crazy and binge...it's okay to treat yourself now and then but if you are on a regimented diet (Atkins for example) then a cheat day can cause you to have to start all over again (not necessarily put back all the pounds you'd already lost) so it might not be worth it to cheat...\n\nDo what is right for you, and decide if a "cheat" day is worth what the scales will say tomorrow and how you will feel about yourself...if you think you'll end up kicking yourself for being bad, why not just have one reasonable sized treat, instead of a whole day of being bad? At least that would be something...a reward for working toward being more healthy and a reward for not going crazy with your eating for an entire day...

If you do it once, no.  But the danger there is the feeling you might get from doing it that once: control? satisfaction?  That kind of thinking, that you can binge but still control your weight by purging, could lead you to do it again.  And again.  Nobody plans on getting an eating disorder.  And if you end up with a purging habit, then yes it is very dangerous.  You can damage your esophagous and wear off the enamel of your teeth.  Even scarier, habitual purging can wreak havoc with your electrolyte levels and cause heart problems.\n\nIf you didn't plan on eating those calories, then just make up for it over the course of the day.  Or take a good, brisk walk and burn some of them off.  You'd have to eat an extra 500 calories every day for a week to gain a pound so your unexpected intake isn't going to impact you much.

well, given that you obviously know how to eat right just keep doing it.  The more you get in shape the less you want to have bad foods.  Although, when you do...make the exception.  Give yourself a "cheat day" or even two a week...this way you aren't depriving yourself of anything.  Also, stay away from sugar as much as you can!  Try to go a few days a week with no sugar at all...if that is possible.

Eating only one kind of thing is a dieting DISASTER. You will get bored and abandon the plan. Moreover, you will probably be deficient in nutrients.\n\nCooking does not make food unhealthy. You can eat cooked vegetables just fine and lose weight. The problem most people have is portion control. Many people also don't get enough exercise.\n\nlearn to balance. get enough exercise. eat sensibly and balance your proteins and carbs (that's right, carbs are GOOD for you). Losing weight and maintaining health are all about moderation, but moderation is something that we as a society have forgotten long ago.

As a personal trainer I have seen this and heard this from 99% of my clients one time or another while im training them. I tell them all the same thing, Ok you messed up, its one day, there is nothing you can do about blowing your diet for today, you start fresh tomorrow. As long as you are not messing up everyday this isnt a major set back here. Dont beat yourself up over this.\nRule of thumb for me is 80% of the time I eat good, and i allow myself 20% of the time to not be perfect. So 5 days good and 2 days not so perfect. Remember no one is perfect and everyone makes mistakes.\nGood cardio however would be Running, Biking, Walking (at a good pace) or anything that gets your heart rate up  just remember your limits and dont try anything that your body isnt used to. If your not used to heavy cardio know your limits.

No it isn't healthy.  You need to eat a minimum of 1200 calories daily.  In order to get in all the nutrients your muscles need, that is what you need to take in.  So it might take you a touch longer to lose what little weight it seems you need to lose, but you will keep it off because you did it healthfully.  If you eat less than 1200 your body will automatically go into starvation mode and save everything you take in as fat rather than burning it asap.

No! as soon as you go on a diet all you can think about is food and eating! You have to realise that you eat to live and dont live to eat and then you have to find the worthwhile things in your life that make your days special and enjoy. One day you will find that  dieting is an unnecessary evil

I think that is fine.  Just make sure you stay on a healthy diet even on your day off.  It is not just exercising.  There are lots of foods you can eat that help burn calories.

No WAY, if you are on a diet and just look at a piece of cake does that mean that you cheated... NO

It is called one day diet or one a day diet. I called about the program and you have to pay them money for these protein things that you eat every other day. So that is how you are supposed to lose weight. So you eat what you want, but they also require that you exercise at least 30 min per day. Then you win the $1000 for participating whether you lose weight or not. I didn't trust it.

Sure you can, but it is not healthy. You can lose weight by eating only candy, but you don't want to. Not only do they have vitamins and minerals you can't find in other foods, they are a very good source of fiber. \n\nSo eat your veggies!

Eating zero calories for five days then eating what every. is not healthy by any means. You're on the right track though.If you stick to a low calorie diet (1500 for women 2500 for men),and eat Six small meals your body will burn the food better. A small breakfast, morning snack,small lunch, afternoon snack, supper, evening snack Mostly because the will be smaller amounts of food to digest. You wouldn't over stuff your mouth. Same thing applies for you stomach. Wait a couple of hours before going to bed after eating. Also, you may be retaining water. Water pills will take care of that. These are some things that I have came across while assisting people in my command loss weight.

Screw diets! Americans (i am one so i'm not raciest) are so fucking lazy that it pisses me off. I think dieting pills are rip-offs. just try some good old fashion exercise (unless your a fat & lazy) Get at least 60 min a day and you will look great (as long as you don't take in more calories than you burn).

It depends upon what else you are eating in the day. But this is a terrible menu plan nonetheless. There are better ways to increase weight in any case. Consult a doctor for information on how to lose weight.

I have tried it and it is very strict. They send you the food for the whole day including the snacks, BUT it is very little and you CANNOT eat anything else! if you ate whatever they sent you and still hungry - guess what? if you eat anything else you will actually gain weight because the food they send contains exact amount of calories you can consume throughout the day to lose about 1 lb a week (at best). The food isn't that great either. I am very picky, I like to cook and pretty good at it and had to make myself eat the food they provided. Although it smelled good the taste just wasn't there.\nOn the other hand a friend of mine (not so picky with the food... AT ALL!) was on that diet for 5 months and she managed to lose 6 pounds.\nEveryone is different. In any case, good luck to you!
