The Two Theories Of Cheat Meals
Two main motivations for #cheatmeals are identified.
First is the theory that cheat days boost your metabolism, causing you to burn more calories. The logic goes that when you restrict your calorie intake, your body eventually adapts and resets your metabolism to your new lower intake.
Second is the theory that cheat days help you stick to your diet. Your levels of leptin fall when you diet, and this can make it harder to resist eating. The theory goes that cheat days help keep your leptin levels up.
