Lesson Overview

2.55 – Why “Cheat Meals” Sometimes Improve Strength: Occasional higher-calorie meals can improve performance for some people. These meals can refill glycogen and boost energy quickly. Psychological relief can also reduce stress and improve sleep. When stress drops, recovery improves and workouts feel stronger. Cheat meals are not magic, and frequent use can cause fat gain. The benefit comes from planned use, not loss of control. Some people notice better pumps and strength after a higher-carb meal. Others feel sluggish if food choices are too heavy or processed. This lesson teaches how to use flexibility without guilt. Understanding your body’s response matters more than following rules. Smart refeeding supports consistency, not extremes. When used correctly, flexibility can improve long-term adherence.
