How bad is cheating on a keno diet? By cheating I mean one relatively bad meal every 2 days for like a week.
Keto diets require a re-feed day...and/or a cheat day.
There are two ways to do it.
once per week you do a carb re-feed day, but the calories are kept in check and the fat content drops very low, but carbs go up very high. Protein remains about the same. Also, every other week is a cheat meal which can have as much protein/fat/carbs as you want in ONE meal.
The other option is the "cheat day" approach...every 2 weeks you get a full day of cheating, no holds barred. However you have no carb refeed days each week.
Each approach works well for SOME people. You have to try both to see which one works best for you.
personally I advise the FIRST option to anyone just starting keto.
EDIT:
I also forgot to mention...during the first TWO weeks of keto, NO CARBS even on the first selection...after the first 2 weeks, you will take a refeed week every week.
