Now it’s time to reflect and ask yourself the following.
Did you earn a cheat meal this weekend?
That’s right, I’m often asked, should you have a cheat meal this week?
I usually say this about cheat meals.
On occasion you can enjoy ice cream, chocolate, or alcohol, as long as you earn it, by passing this cheat meal test.

The Cheat Meal Test
Did you kick butt this week with your workouts and meals?
In other words, have you been consistent with:
- following the recipes in your meal plan throughout the week?
- completing the workouts from your Live Lean workout program and 4 minute tabata workouts?
If so, enjoy whatever cheat meal you desire such as:
Speaking Of Alcohol
Check out my recent episode of Food Wars, where I share the best type of alcohol to drink, to minimize any potential setbacks with your body transformation goals.
I personally like to use cheat meals as a reward for eating clean, moving my body, and staying consistent with my program throughout the week.
When I accomplish these things, that’s when I give myself permission to enjoy my favorite cheat meal.
However, if I slipped up through the week, by eating an unhealthy meal, I consider that my weekly cheat meal.
Or if I skipped my workouts throughout the week, I classify that as not earning my cheat meal.

So other than that, enjoy your weekend and try to spend some time in the sun.

I like to change out the word treat for enjoy. We can enjoy a little more here or there. I enjoy ice cream or a nice brunch.
ice cream is my go-to as well!
A treat meal for me is a few gluten-free corn chips with melted cheddar cheese… homemade salsa and homemade guacamole. Heaven
And yes, I earned it!
that sounds delicious (and pretty healthy)
I love a good Burger and Cupcake 🙂
That’s a killer combo!! Nice!
