Friends - don't do cheat days, cheat weekends, or cheat nights. They're bad for you. 

You know this...they're never ever, ever worth it. The only thing they reliably deliver is regret. 

Instead, build stable, reliable systems of good habits that create enduring contentment.

I would argue that we were created for a cycle of feasting and fasting. The Catholic Church, for centuries, has advocated for this practice, encouraging self-discipline, fortitude, and gratitude. We gather together as a community to feast.

Tim Ferris, in his book The 4-Hour Body, supports this concept from a health perspective. He argues that strategic fasting can reset the body, improve insulin sensitivity, and promote fat loss, while designated feast days help prevent metabolic slowdown and maintain psychological balance. 

Integrating both fasting and feasting into your routine, you align with a natural human rhythm. Thinking of it as “cheating” is probably the only thing that is preventing you from benefiting from making room for a lovely meal with friends and family.
