That is so true, if i have a cheat day or two, it’s a week of suffering and being hungry to get back to baseline and until all the cravings go away.

Thanks. I don't need cheat meals because I have all kinds of delicious whole and natural foods from which to choose when I am hungry.

I'm so glad that Thomas explains each step on multiple levels. It lets me convert facts and advice into logical, usable, practical knowledge to apply to any questions I have through the day.

My “whole food” meal plan is FREE. Teaches how to eat for fat loss, muscle building and longevity. http://www.thomasdelauer.com/eatrealfood - consider it my “thank you” for subscribing to my channel and newsletter!

A cheat meal is more psychologically rewarding though. Little cheats here and there aren’t as enjoyable. It’s also harder to exercise self-restraint. One scoop of ice cream turns into the whole pint.
