Is it it safe ? Heck no ! It can make your arms fall off and your eyes pop out !
Okay seriously, I wouldn’t say, it wasn’t safe. I’d just say it’s completely pointless. And the only person you would be cheating, is yourself. Why not just eat something as a treat, which is still totally keto ?
I eat sweet treats every day, and often a desert with my dinner. There are all kinds of natural low carb sweeteners out there (if your worried about natural) or you can be a Sucralose freak like me
Also, I make and eat the most awesome yeast risen keto bread almost daily. So I don’t have to “cheat” with bread either.
Zucchini Au Gratin… Who needs potatoes ? Getting ready to try cauliflower rice (I hate cauliflower, but I hear this is awesome)
My point is their is just SO much great keto food out there, and even sweet keto treats, I see no reason to have a cheat day, or even a cheat meal.
Not to mention, coming from a completely personal standpoint, I feel like I can do keto for the rest of my life, no problem. But I don’t have a control dial. For me, one cheat day will absolutely turn into a cheat week, and then it’s all over.
I understand their are people who can cheat once in a while and then get right back on to keto. That’s good for them, but it still seems kind of pointless to me… And it certainly wouldn’t work for me.
