How often can I cheat on my diet and still maintain weight loss?
Q. Well, it's not actually a diet. I have totally changed my eating habits and have been working out regularly. I have been keeping track of my weight loss on a computer program and have been losing an average of 3.4 oz per day. How often can I cheat on my eating and still maintain weight loss? Right now its been once or twice per month. I don't want to risk weight gain but I want to enjoy good food with my kids every once in a while. Last night I ate pizza and this morning my weight is 4 lbs higher according to the scale, I can't do that! 4lbs is a major setback. I had a friend that said I can eat bad once per week. What do you think? I'm not sure how often really fit people eat what they want. Or why I gain so easily (one night of junk and I gain 3 or 4 lbs that took me weeks to lose.)

A. Actually, cheating once in a while (and not giant binges, but uppering calorie intake) HELPS you lose weight. You don't want your body to become accustom to the calories you are eating. If once every month or so you "go off your diet" and eat still healthy, but a bit higher calorie (allow yourself to indulge) you'll notice when you go back on your diet two days later, the weight will come off easier.
