Lol my thoughts exactly, and even competing body builders eat pizza and burgers and **** for cheat meals. My question is... what does your regular diet look like if bread, peanuts and fruit are cheating.
I ran the velocity diet a couple weeks back, and it really changed my food choice behavior, currently im doing waterbury's 10/10 transformation which is pretty strict as well, to be honest with u guys i really dont crave some of the burgers like i used to, i don't know how long this will last haha, but im gunna take advantage of this. I read a really interesting article by Christian Thibaudeau:

he explains that the foods you pick during a cheat are based on certain variables such as genetics, bodytype, and current body fat percentage, especially if your tryin to lean out.
" The type of food you're allowed on those carb-up/refeed days changes too based on how fat you are:
For men
Above 20% body fat: carb-up only with clean carbs (yams, non-green veggies, fruits, oatmeal, rice, potatoes, grits, etc.)
15-20% body fat: carb-up only with clean carbs
12-15% body fat: carb-up mostly with clean carbs. One or two ''cheat'' items is acceptable but avoid eating foods that are both high in fat and sugar.
10-12% body fat: Carb-up can include a bit more cheat food, but still stay away from fat/sugar combo foods.
Less than 10% body fat: the refeed can be more lenient. While results will be better with cleaner food, when you get down below 10% it's okay to include some dirtier meals (pizza, burgers, pastries, etc.) in your refeed day."
