Day 28 of the Paleo Challenge - Easy on that open/cheat meal!
As the final days of the Paleo Challenge approach us, I want to answer some general questions about open/cheat days or meals. While some sources allow you to do an 85 to 15 split between Paleo strict and open meals a week, respectively, I suggest you don't plan your cheat meals. Instead, just let them happen every now and then, and be smart about it. Instead of a huge gluten binge, go have some sushi and ice cream or mexican, corn tortillas, and some gold tequila.
Typically, when people plan a cheat meal or cheat day, they sound a bit crazy and end up going overboard in one meal, then getting painful tummy aches: pizza, burgers, nachos, cookies, beer, and ice cream. Don't pretend you haven't had a conversation where all those foods came up and you were telling your friend, "I can't wait to have my open meal!" Your focus should be on bettering your health by sticking to the Paleo Diet, not your cheat meals. It takes a lot of discipline to stay on the path less chosen, but I can't preach enough about how much you are gaining from it. All this being said, when you do have a cheat/open meal, make sure you bring your fish oil!
