Weekend Pig-Out

Hi,

I work out 6 days per week, 1 1/2 hours cardio each day and 2 days of
full body strength training, but I would like to eat what I want (bbq
wings, fried chicken, hamburger) from Friday night to Sunday night,
then from Monday morning to Friday afternoon, eat healthy(oatmeal,
kidney beans, brown rice, fruits and veggies), will that harm me and
possibly make me gain weight. I want to pig out on the weekends but I
don't want to raise my cholesterol and gain weight. I figured I would
get advice before I actually try it.

Thanks,

CB

I am a thin person looking to stay healthy. My weekend pig out would
be Friday dinner, Saturday dinner, Sunday breakfast, and Sunday dinner,
meaning, I would eat what I want at these meals/times. The rest of the
week would be high fiber, low fat, low cholesterol foods.

That sounds both unrealistic and self-defeating. Either you want to
live a healthy lifestyle or you don't.

So would I but it sounds non conducive to developing good eating habits.

Thanks for your response.

Thanks for your response.

The body regulates calorie intake, so IMHO the result of alternating high
calorie days with low calorie days should be the same as eating about the
same thing every day. In either case, in this society, odds are, you will
gain some weight.

I'm a low carber, so I would eliminate the hamburger buns, brown rice,
oatmeal, and beans.

Unless you are force-feeding yourself when you no longer feel hungry, I
would not worry about the rest of it.

Two or three meals per week (preferably out of the house) where you
are less concerned with healthy eating is reasonable, but 48 hours per
week seems excessive.

I have one or two meals a week that are for pure pleasure--I don't worry
about what I'm eating/drinking--but I'm pretty vigilant the rest of the
week, and I exercise most days. This is the strategy that has helped me
to lose, and to maintain my current weight.

If you could choose one or two meals (rather than the four to five you
mentioned elsewhere) to "pig-out" on, what would they be?
