CHEAT DAYS Are Necessary—Here's  HOW WE DO IT

A healthy lifestyle requires balance—allowing yourself to hit the snooze button when you really need it, skipping the gym for quality time with friends, and of course cheat days. Yes, indulging every once in a while is self-care. Whether you follow a strict diet or not, we all deserve days off. No guilt and no boundaries.

With the long holiday weekend around the corner, we wanted to remind you it’s OK (and necessary) to spoil your cravings. Do your body and mind a favor this weekend and embrace all your naughty eating habits. All in moderation, right? Below, team Poosh is sharing how we splurge on our cheat days.

“I cheat twice a day with a little something sweet after lunch and dinner. But when I did the keto diet, I was very strict six days a week and my cheat day was on Sundays. I’d go to the farmers market before church and get a matcha latte and chocolate croissant from Alfred’s, and then after church, I’d head to Soho House for their buffet (all-you-can-eat waffles with butter and syrup). On my recent trip to Turks, we had a handful of junky foods, like Double Stuf Oreos and Cheetos for all of us to snack on.” – Kourt

“Every day is a cheat day for me. What’s the point of living if you can’t eat what you want? Some things I like to eat that are bad for you in no particular order: Reese’s Peanut Butter Sticks, Milk Bar cookie pops, cupcakes (no chocolate, just vanilla), and edible cookie dough.” – Sarah Howard

“I go big when I’ve set my mind on a cheat day. I usually start the morning with breakfast in bed (a la Postmates) and order my favorite bagel from Bagel Broker. For lunch, I’ll head to Sunset Tower and devour a Tower burger and their iconic tequila smash (or two) while I soak up some vitamin D. To really round out my day of indulging, I’ll pick up pizza and pasta from Jon & Vinny’s and enjoy the deliciousness on the couch while I catch up on my shows.” – Michelle Scanga

“I try to live a balanced life and practice everything in moderation. While I’m disciplined with my diet 80% of the time, I allow myself to indulge and let loose the other 20%. Usually my splurges include either a good red wine (I usually try to stick to tequila and lime as there is less sugar), a decadent dessert, sneaking a few french fries from one of the kids, or all of the above. I’d rather let myself cheat a little bit whenever I want to than deprive myself and then go crazy. I’m approaching 40, and my body just doesn’t bounce back from those over-indulgent days/nights like it used to.” – Sam Hyatt
