I tend to disagree with focusing on cheat days. To me it feels like, you're a poor eater that needs to eat poorly as a reward for denying yourself. I could be off-base and different strokes for different folks, etc.

Now, if you eat well and every once in a while you have a treat, that won't be a problem because you eat well all the time. Your body will be well-configured for proper foods... and the piece of cake every few weeks won't be a big deal. I think a couple of decades ago when macros became a big deal, cheat day was supposed to be the one day per week that you don't need to worry about where your calories come from. And if you do a good job, you'll stop craving that stuff, or you'll have a very strong desire/need to consume very little of it.

anyway maybe I'm offbase about this. I agree that you won't need to cut out certain foods entirely but I think it's important to understand that you aren't trying to obey/deny cravings. but certainly not everyone is the same!
