Let’s talk about cheat days. You know the drill - strict all week, then a “free-for-all” on the weekend. Maybe it starts with brunch, turns into bottomless snacks, and ends with a side of guilt.
But here’s the thing: that cheat day mindset? It’s not harmless. It can wreak havoc on your blood sugars, leave your hormones more imbalanced, and create a cycle of restriction and rebellion that’s hard to break - especially if you’re dealing with PCOS, insulin resistance, or a sensitive gut.
In this episode, we’re unpacking the metabolic and psychological fallout of cheat days, why they’re so tempting, and how to shift into a more balanced, permission-based approach to food that supports long-term physical and mental wellbeing.
