(The pic is above.) Yikes! Starches and sugars, oh my! And guess what? According to the prevailing wisdom these days, there\u2019s nothing wrong with it. Yes, cheat days are trending and&nbsp;<em>you<\/em>&nbsp;can get in on the \u201cso-cool-even-The Rock-does-it\u201d bandwagon. Heck, I do it regularly too (although not to such epic proportions).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cheat Day Basics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step one.<\/strong>&nbsp;First off, you have to&nbsp;<em>earn<\/em>&nbsp;a cheat day. That means you have to eat clean for a certain period of time. For most people, that\u2019s a week of lots of veggies and lean proteins and generally \u201cgood for you\u201d stuff. Did you earn it? Yes? Good for you \u2026 move on to the next step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step two.<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;You\u2019ve gotta&nbsp;<em>plan<\/em>&nbsp;your cheat day. Are you craving sugars and starches? Mom\u2019s chocolate chip cookies? A burger and french fries? Have the ingredients you need on hand or know where you\u2019re going to eat for your cheat day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step three.<\/strong>&nbsp;Indulge, indulge, indulge! Yep, and skip the guilt too. If cheat days are built into your schedule&nbsp;<em>and<\/em>you\u2019re following your eating plan&nbsp;<em>and<\/em>&nbsp;you\u2019re generally happy, then enjoy your day. Eat whatever you want and try not to burp too loudly in public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step four.<\/strong>&nbsp;Now get it out of the house! &nbsp;After your cheat day is over, you want to keep temptation as far away from you as possible. Make sure there is NO left over junk food in the cupboards. Throw it out if you have to, but don\u2019t have it lying around. You want your treat to be a cheat&nbsp;<em>day,<\/em>&nbsp;not a cheat year!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step five.<\/strong>&nbsp;Get back to your healthy eating plan and you\u2019ll be golden. And try to wait a few days before you start thinking about your next cheat day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you use cheat days to stay balanced with your eating? Or do you think they\u2019re dumb and you should just eat in moderation with an emphasis on healthy? I\u2019d love for you to share your thoughts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cheers,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lisa<\/p>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019ve only recently become acquainted with Dwayne \u201cThe Rock\u201d Johnson as a social media superstar (he has about 3.5 million followers on Twitter,&nbsp;@TheRock).
