Simple answer. Cheat meals and enjoying normal food are both good if you're not a pre-comp bodybuilder !

Always recommend a cheat even during a cutting phase once a week won’t set you back is long is your other days are set

I’m quite strict and disciplined all year round to be fair.

However, I don’t make a living by doing what I do, I will never be stepping on stage either so do I deprive myself of the good things in life?

Heck no, I guess I “cheat” once a week, it might be a single meal or an entire day but I won’t turn down a family take away with a film night nor will I refuse to go to a particular restaurant because it doesn’t “cater” for my lifestyle

I try to keep sugar to an absolute minimum and I haven’t touched alcohol since 2018 that’s about it

Enjoy whatever you are craving and reward good behaviours

If you must drink...drink H2O, alcohol is a big no-no!!

That's good, specially about the alcohol, throws you back, and junk food just needed some motivation and reassurance lol as I'm surrounded with guys who love a good drink and junk food , you tell yourself one drink is OK but then it never stops at one.

When I started this game many moons ago it was so I could eat normally as I went chubby as as a teen ? I dont eat sweets or chocolate and dont eat much junk food , but the odd indian or a nice slice of cheesecake wont harm you ? Its a reward for effort you put in on the daily ?
Life is short , enjoy it now and again 😊
