Cheat meals or refeeds are a part of our program but only when your body needs it. They are not handed out based on a calendar date but based on how our client is reacting to our diet and how they look. Refeeds or cheat meals have specific rules and we will inform you of them when the time is right. The secret to getting a cheat meal or a refeed meal is to be ready ahead of time. Bikini competitors who have 10 weeks to get ready for a show and who need to lose 30 lbs most likely will NOT get cheat meal and if they do there is a good chance that they will not be ready come show time. Contrast that to a Bikini competitor who stays within 5lbs of stage weight during her Progress Season. She can afford to have such meals during her contest prep and will most likely need them.

Constipation can become a problem for several reasons. Diets that are low in fat, low in fibre, high in dairy products or low in fluids may cause constipation. Increasing your fluid consumption and fibre will help. Adding a bran cereal in the morning is recommended as well as additional fibrous vegetables. Adding in psyllium husk to your morning cereal or mixed in a glass of water may also be beneficial. Products like Dieter’s Tea will help to keep you regular. We have also been adding fermented foods and probiotics to our clients’ diets with successful results as poor gut health is a major cause of constipation problems. We provide a sheet with solutions to digestion problems if this problem arises.
