Time and time again I’ve seen fitness gurus and weight loss enthusiasts proudly posting images depicting tons of unhealthy foods on various social media platforms during their so-called "cheat days".
You too may have ascribed to occasional cheat days and even posted a few images yourself.
This is not surprising as some of the more popular diet plans have gone so far as to endorse the notion of periodically giving in to your cravings for pizza, French fries, desserts, and other decadent foods.
But why exactly is this type of behavior being endorsed? Well, as with all eating trends there’s a bit of science surrounding the concept of cheat days.
