When dieting do you cheat?

[The_Leafy_Bug]

of all the people who 'compete' that posted in this thread (read: guys who make an embarrassment of themselves on stage), judging from this reply, you're the only one who knows what he's talking about.

Im just saying what works for me and what i've done. Do whatever you like. You wanna load yourself up on clen and other kinds of stimulants and cheat then be my guest. I know a guy who did it and refused to listen to me and he entered the show at about 9% bf and couldn't get any lower.

Cheat meal or day once a week's necessary mentally and physically. Unrealistic to do without, and gives you something to look forward to and reward for the sacrifice. It won't hurt you if you're good the rest of the time and will in fact help you keep on track.

I've never used cheat meals but that is because im young. The metabolism does slow down drastically. I usually try to measure it by my heart rate. If my pulse starts going below 60 bpm then i need to get some more calories. I have had it get down as low as 45 bpm during dieting even while using an EC stack.

Yea im bitter and mean as hell when i diet hahahaa. It is normal. I mean im fine really until people start asking me questions. I only dieted for 6 weeks this year when i prepped for my show so it was very mild.

What bodyfat percentage did you start from?

JOJ cheats.  He said he has 4 meals with a cheat every other day for the last meal.  I'm taking bets he is having a cheat meal everyday during his preps...based on his declining placings. Do MT athlete reps read this board?

All my guys cheat once a week all day long.

what's their cheat meal?  he is dropping mcdonalds at 50 grams fat per burger.  how many  burgers this guy eats in one setting?  6-7 days a week going into a contest.  come on!  joj is falling just like kamali, didnt even qualify for the O with a weak IM lineup.

joj never does well in the early shows, but regularly finds a way to win a fall/late summer show for the past 3 years, dont write him off just yet .

Come one what? They eat what ever they want all day long, simple as that. WTF is JOJ and what does that have to do with anything?

When I diet I consider it cheating.
