Day 6 was a planned break in the routine. I started the day the same way I’ve been doing all week with two bags of RealGoods. Keeping that consistent anchor meal has been huge for staying structured on PSMF.
Later in the day, I had my calculated cheat meal — some pizza and In-N-Out. This wasn’t a slip, wasn’t emotional eating, and wasn’t me breaking discipline. It was intentional.
The goal here is simple. A strategic refeed helps mentally reset, reduces the feeling of restriction, and gives the body a temporary bump in energy and glycogen. On a diet as aggressive as PSMF, using a controlled refeed at the right time can actually keep adherence higher going into the next stretch.
I didn’t binge. I didn’t lose control.
I enjoyed the foods, got it out of my system, and now I’m moving forward fully dialed back in.
RealGoods for structure.
A planned cheat for strategy.
Day 6 executed exactly how I intended.
Back on the grind tomorrow.
