For those looking to save some time: Have pea protein or casein protein 30 minutes before a cheat meal. Recommend watching the whole video though. Have a great day :)

[@irinad.1296]

Yeah, i hate when the title says ONE SIMPLE RULE and you see 10min video, half of it ads and other is prolonged explanatory text

[@zorabw8948]

I agree, @Irina D. In addition, I get confused that now Casein is recommended. In other videos (in more than one) Thomas has repeatedly said that Casein is very insulinogenic.

TLDR version: hit your protein macros for the day before your cheat meal.

What about the Sugar in cottage cheese causing insulin spike? Vs using whey protein ?

[@brendafiander9055]

Thank you . That’s very interesting . I’ll have to try that the next time I want junk food ,

[@josemora-hurtado1675]

Hi Thomas, are collagen peptides ok? Thank you.

[@Frankie1622]

Would this effect apply with other plant-based proteins? Like hemp, rice or soy?

[@michaelc2644]

Would you recommend having a gram or so of cinnamon before a cheat meal as a way of diminishing insulin response to a cheat meal?

[@mlx9094]

What about if you’re on the Keto diet yes I know you’ll fall out of ketosis but will this still help with the shock to your body?!

[@alessiodf]

Great videos! I usually implement the following intermittent Keto (with sporadic 2-3 times a week IF): - 2 months strict keto (with max x2 cheat meals total) - 1 week of carb load (controlled and healty) - rinse and repeat. I'd like to hear your opinion! :)

[@jag_purwaha1]

Hi, on days u IF, what’s the timing u go for? Also, on non-IF days, do you just eat from the time your awake to the time u go to bed? Thanks

[@zorabw8948]

I don't like pea protein, but I get confused about casein and whey. Had Thomas not said before that casein shakes up the insulin more and that whey is kind of okay?

[@bryandipasquale9144]

Can you drink the laird coffee while fasting, or it if for after you break the fast? Thx!

[@FCT8306onTwoWheels]

Great video. I think its cool that you mentioned to take in protein before the meal on the cheat day. Ive been doing IF 18:6 most days and at least three times a week a 20 hour fasting happens when work is busy and that includes my scheduled one day a week 20 hour fasting on Friday night into Saturday 2pm. So I had my first real cheat meal not counting anything but it was interesting because I felt like I was hard wired to go for mostly animal proteins which would be seafood since im a pescatarian. I even had sashimi which are just the raw fish cuts without rice. It just happened naturally though when I went to the buffet place to eat and I just focused on taking in majority of protein and not so much like rice or pastas or breads and stuff. Well just wanted to share how cool it was that you mentioned the protein thing, I just felt like I had to have a control over the cheat meal so maybe it wasnt really a cheat meal lol.

[@tojetsetter]

How much pea or casein protein should you have? 30g, 40g etc? Does it matter?

[@judydenison8576]

Why cottage cheese instead of Greek yogurt or any other food that contains casein protein? Thanks!

[@anshpreetsingh4892]

Sir...i do IF with keto..i do 2 meals a day...is it necessary to consume fats in both my meals or can i just eat all of my fats in the second meal?as i eat majority of my protien and carbs in the first meal. Will this cause a problem to enter ketosis and stay there? I am new to keto..please help

[@rachelchatter6920]

Which pea protein isolate protein powder brand do you recommend?

[@ericshubert2007]

Do you suppose that autophagy provides some (recycled) protein? Not that it would affect satiety necessarily though.

No cheat days......one cheat meal

To make a cheat meal beneficial, aim for foods high in quality proteins and carbs, such as steak and baked potato, spaghetti and meatballs, meat pizza, or a burger with a whole grain wheat bun👍

Ive learned the hard way many times over the last three yrs. There is no such thing as a cheatmeal. There is only sabotage.

[@joerotter2873]

Yes and no what I do when I go to the Chinese buffet I eat like four cups of broccoli then probably around eight ounces of chicken breast with a couple cups of green beans. Then by the time I go to the bad stuff im only getting maybe 130 carbs and maybe 60 grams of sugar from crab Rangoon and the sugary sauced stuff. I just get like a a fourth a cup of each of the bad stuff just as a sampler. I love vegetables maybe thats why it works and I have always been a meat head.

I had a cheat and follow d up with ACV water and a bowl of ground beef with tomato sauce greens and cheese and I ended up losing weight the next day. So the protein thing makes sense. The acv regulated my blood sugar and digestion.

Pea Protein is not available in my region. Should I eat some peas instead?

[@AA-hk3cm]

Think u just blend peas with bit of water

Thomas. I don't think I can do cheat meals for a while. That's the bottom line. I'm ok with it.

[@docswidow2479]

Yep just like being body hung over. I only eat a cheat meal about once every 3 months. Then I always feel so bad that I swear I will NEVER do it again because it's painful to my whole body for the next couple days.Next time I will try ur way. 😎

[@qu33flatina]

Drank too much the other night... guess beer was my cheat meal 😅

[@aidanware2164]

Thomas what do you use for pea protein 😀

[@davidivers9295]

I think he uses Orgain Organic Protein. You can get it at Costco.

[@aidanware2164]

David Ivers thanks

[@kravmaga7070]

what if the cheat meal was a free aw double mozza burger? then they also gave us a icecream bar?

[@aixzi_official]

cumin is good in this case?

[@TheRealBrook1968]

Start at 2:30

[@shogunofharlem8240]

I think he missed some of the issue here. Hitting enough protein may help you to achieve satiety so you don't eat a dozen donuts and instead eat just 2-3, Fair enough. But a bigger issue, at least for me, is that of metabolism and digestion. I can't eat a donut because of IBS and Gluten sensitivity, even with the help of digestive enzymes. No amount of protein is going to solve that. What I have found is that it helps somewhat if I eat a bit of green veggies right before, or with, the cheat meal.

[@kwabenaamanfoh6675]

I have a daily cheat meal. 1 frozen juice pop. Nice, cold, low cal, and low sugar.

I'm greatful to have learn't to go Dirty 16 Fast 5 days per week Mainly Keto, however on weekends I now eat what I want when I want to help build that mitochondrial function. I'm raising my push ups inside my daily 1 hour 16 mins indoor workouts to 600 along with the 1000 squat thrusts the 160 Pull-ups on ladder inclined in stair well. Run down up stairs 100 Burpees with the squat thrusts with the push ups inside the Burpees:) 1.5 litres water 9 gulps per 10 Burpees push ups squat thrusts. I break my fasts with Salt with Apple Cider too:) The supplements Lipo. Mag. Carn. NAC. PQQ. D. .05g Cre. are A-OK. Ohh. Pea protein 30g. Hemp Protein 30g. Chicken Wings 70 g protein. Usually bung in a can of Tuna or Sardines plus Greek yoghurt, or Cottage cheese before bed:) Insulins spikes of 30g usually fruit salad with rice pudding week days only 30g carbs. Sat Sun a little more. Following you is proving that it's good business on my body this is why I'm leaner. I have to say that it may be true the Magnisium can make a person more relaxed still I'm getting in my workouts it's great. I appreciate you Thomas. Good to see your Garage Gym.

2 cheat days in a row and wow I’m disappointed. *sigh* I told myself I wasn’t gonna do this. 7 weeks on keto and I gave in to the worst foods you can think of. I’ve cream, Taco Bell, Burger King, chocolate, cookies, cheesecake, cheetos....🤦🏻‍♀️ I am bloated. Gained 10 pounds in those two days. Emotional eating is rough. I wouldn’t even call them cheat days. They were me giving into my emotions. Before keto I was a huge emotional eater and now that I didn’t have anything to cope with(because I would use food to cope) I gave in to food. *sigh*.... what do I do now? My body is now just craving to binge, craving the bad food. Anything makes me want to vomit but I eat it anyways to the point of pure fullness overload. Someone help me. I definitely am gonna gain massive fat from this. Is my 7 weeks down the drain? Please someone help me....☹️ I can’t fail. Not this time...I am done failing. Idk what to do though....

[@bernmeegs3345]

Don’t beat yourself up. Two days won’t undo 7 whole weeks of being awesome! Just start back into your keto routine and consider your cheat days a tiny blip. It’s okay, shit happens! :)

Hope you were able to get back under control. It's not about whether you fail on occasion. It's about not letting those occasions DEFINE you. Don't give up when you slip a bit!

How about bone broth? Isn’t that high protein too?

[@KJ-nv9uz]

Youd have to drink alot. He recommended 30 g protein. I think bone broth averages about 12 g per cup. Even so, i know this dies not directly answer the question

[@healthhollow7218]

In another of Thomas’s “cheat meal protocol” videos he actually does recommend bone broth before a cheat meal. He also said other things to do like consume a high glycemic carb like a rice cake or some cereal with about 4 oz of protein. To let your body get adapted to some carbs and protein so that your system doesn’t get shocked all at once with the cheat meal. Then he recommended bone broth then he said take ACV + lemon with the meal. That was a 4 year old video though so who knows 😄
