THE \u201cCHEAT DAY\u201d.<\/strong>\u00a0whether you\u2019re into fitness or not, you have probably heard of cheat day. I find it interesting that people get the wrong\u00a0 perception about cheat day\u2026they think it amounts to failure, or its just another excuse to have a day if eating what what ever you want, junk food in particular. Truthfully, I used to think that as well, until I found out about the book \u201cMan 2.0\u00a0 Engineering the Alpha\u201d.<\/p>\n

DO YOU WANT <\/strong>to learn how you can build more muscle, and burn more fat faster? Well, all you have to do is pay attention to what I\u2019m about to talk about, because this simple method improved my body drastically, along with my brothers as well. In about a month of following this method, we burned a significant amount of fat, and gained much more muscle mass than before in just 1 month of following this method.<\/p>\n

SO \u2026CHEAT DAY. <\/strong>\u201cWhat is cheat day?\u201d Is probably what you\u2019re really wondering right now. Like I talked about in one of my previous blogs before about intermittent fasting, the \u201ccheat day\u201d correlates with intermittent fasting,<\/em><\/strong> which means it would be more effective to have a cheat day if you intermittent fast on a daily basis. Anyhow, if you\u2019re currently doing that, great. So you have cheat days one day a week, and what it is is you can literally eat what ever you want the whole day. whether it\u2019s junk food, burgers, deserts,<\/em><\/strong> you name it. All that food you\u2019re engaging into your system confuses your metabolism and generate the food as energy to burn your fat, and build more muscle. Keep in my mind, when you\u2019re eating all that food through out the whole day, it raises your leptin<\/strong> levels, and controls\u00a0 your metabolism, which then produces more growth hormone during the process because you keep eating junk that confuses your body which then makes you lose fat and build muscle.<\/p>\n

WHAT TRULY COUNTERACTS<\/strong>\u00a0with this is since you have all that food working in your system the whole day, you have to fast for 36 hours, due to the fact that you spend all day eating delicious unhealthy foods that enhance your leptin<\/strong><\/em> level to increase, which then results in burning significant amounts of fat and help your muscles grow the day after cheat day by NOT EATING<\/strong><\/em> the entire day.<\/strong> Yeah, you\u2019re probably thinking this sounds crazy, but in reality it counteracts, because you spend the whole day eating ANYTHING<\/strong> you want all you want, then the next day you fast.<\/p>\n

THE BEST THING<\/strong>\u00a0about having a leptin system working properly, is it IMPROVES\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>your brain function, enhances your mood, and leads to a\u00a0better memory. Isn\u2019t this an awesome deal?! Finally, getting to eat<\/em><\/strong> what ever you want, when ever you want, and there are no limits.<\/p>\n

LETS GO OVER\u00a0<\/strong>a few ground rules though\u2026.whenever you do have cheat days, like me the first time, you\u2019re probably gonna get a little too excited and eat like you never have before. That\u2019s the problem though. According to the book \u201cMan 2.0\u2033<\/em><\/strong> by John Romaniello and Adam Bornstein, they talk about the cheat day in great detail, and explain that you cannot gorge; filling yourself<\/em><\/strong> up. Like me when I first did it, I was too impatient and ate more than I could, lol\u2026.that\u2019s what you don\u2019t want to do. It also mentions in that book to never stay hungry, but NEVER<\/strong>\u00a0gorge<\/em><\/strong>. What I like about this is it also makes you feel good about yourself\u2026the fact that you get to treat yourself every week and look forward to this\u00a0amazing day\u00a0<\/strong>of pure deliciousness!<\/p>\n

SO YOU SIMPLY<\/strong>\u00a0have to eat all day, have some doritos<\/strong> or chips ahoy<\/strong>, or oreos<\/strong> with you. NEVER STOP EATING<\/strong><\/em>. Man\u2026I\u2019m making myself hungry by talking about this. Lol.<\/p>\n

I\u2019M TELLING YOU,\u00a0<\/strong>you\u2019re going to absolutely love this day for the rest of your life. It truly will improve your body more. I like to call them \u201ctreat days\u201d rather than \u201ccheat days\u201d since you have it planned for every week. Lol\u2026<\/p>\n

THERE YOU GO\u00a0<\/strong>guys, I encourage you to have a cheat day\u00a0once\u00a0EVERY WEEK,\u00a0<\/strong>for your own physique benefits. I guarantee you, this is most likely what you\u2019re gonna be looking forward to every week, for the rest of your life\u2026and always getting RIPPED each day you do so. Hopefully you took this information into consideration, love you all.<\/p>\n

BEST OF WISHES,<\/em>\u00a0<\/strong>GOOD LUCK TO Y\u2019ALL!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
