Also, the good programs allow you a "cheat" day. This helps not only replenish some calories that you lose following a sensible/rigid nutritional program, but also lets you get over the fast food fettish. Some MMA camps that use "Cheat" days are Team Punishment and Caesar Gracie's.

Hell, there are good programs that allow you more than one cheat day. Some of them advise you to work hard through the week and eat really clean, but on weekends, eat whatever you want and take it easy. It recharges your batteries and keeps you from going insane. Also, if someone eats whatever they want 7 days a week normally and they cut themselves back to only two, they're definitely going to see results. Then as you get stronger and leaner and you get more used to the discipline required, you cut down to one cheat day a week. Then eventually, as you become an iron-abbed killing machine
, your cheat days should get a lot less extreme, and you'll get by with even fewer of them.
