#32: Do Cheat Meals Work?

Arnold's Pump Club
About this episode

Everyone loves a good excuse to indulge, enjoy big meals, and eat dessert. But is the method of doing it weekly -- also known as some as a "cheat day" -- an effective way to lose weight? We'll look at the science of what happens when you bump up the calories and eat more freely. We'll also check in with Dave D on his incredible 100-pound weight loss journey. And Arnold will end the episode with a breakfast option that is the perfect high-protein replacement for eggs.
