So I think I need some advice I ate--EAT IT followed by chocolate cake, drank some coke an had some ice cream plus Japs but I do this every other week. Is that ok as a cheat day? or what would you suggest as a cheat day while one is working out..
ReplyDeleteThanks for your question. I don't recommend a cheat day. Pehaps just making healthy choices and if having an unhealthy meal or snack to limit it to 1 meal per week. Continuously eating fatty foods and foods high in sugars can lead to insulin resistance. Hope this information was helpful
