A strategy you can use to eating out with the gang is to make it coincide with your cheat day. Designate a particular day of the week so you can celebrate and reward yourself with a cheat meal or two, at the most. Then schedule this cheat day as they day you go out with your family, friends or business associates.

Depending on your nutrition program, you either have 35 or 42 meals per week. Eating 1 or 2 cheat meals lessens this to 33 or 40 healthy meals weekly, which is statistically insignificant unless you consume twice your optimal calorie intake during each cheat meal!

Eating cheat meals may even do wonders for your body because it jump starts your metabolic system and enables it to perform its functions more efficiently. A prolonged and reduced calorie diet can decrease your metabolic rate and a cheat meal acts as an octane boost to get it up and running at optimum speed.

Moreover, a cheat meal or two weekly satisfies your body’s psychological and physiological cravings and prevents you from falling off your established nutrition and aerobic/workout/weight training program.
