Tag: Cheat day frequency

According to a study on dieting behaviors, incorporating a planned indulgence like a 'cheat meal' can help curb unplanned binge eating, which can be far more disruptive to a diet. Determining how often to have these planned breaks is crucial for long-term success and is highly dependent on your specific health and fitness goals.

A study on eating behaviors found that approximately 89% of young adults reported having a planned or spontaneous 'cheat meal' during a dieting period. This raises the question of how often are cheat days okay and what constitutes a healthy approach to planned indulgences.
