To Cheat or Not To Cheat By Josephine Dalton cPT, cSN All Rights Reserved. Feel free to share this article, all I ask is you link it back to me. I get many emails concerning the inconsistent suggestions from various health experts regarding the use of “Cheat Days” whether they are necessary or required to get lose body fat, whether you can get leaner without them, whether you’ll get better outcomes if you miss them, and whether the diet works better with or without “junk food” on the menu. #1.

Before you dump all that oil onto your salad because you fell for all those health claims that “Sugar is the enemy… eat more fat!” and start to eat more fat… keep in mind that for every gram of fat you consume, that is 9 calories (versus the 4g that are in carbs and sugars). Just because a particular fat is healthy does not mean you can eat as much as you want. You still need to monitor your intake. One teaspoon of a typical FAKE butter has 20 calories and 2.2g of fat One teaspoon of Olive Oil has 40...
