14: jim's cheat day

Jim decided to start the new year off with a new outlook on the way he eats. We have a close friend who has lost a lot of weight by following what he calls, "the 4 hour diet". Basically, this entails cutting out carbohydrates: bread, rice, pasta, fruit..you get the point..all the good stuff for 6 days of the week. The thing that sold Jim on this was CHEAT DAY! One day a week you get a cheat day where you can eat anything! It sounds contradictory to me, but it's working and he's never felt better. It's kinda funny, because come cheat day, everyone keeps asking him what he's going to eat. It's like they're just as excited for him as he is. Jim hasn't really embraced the cheat day to it's full extent. He feels a little guilty. He loves how he feel and wonders why he'd want to mess around with it. By week 2, cheat day came a little easier to him and we binged on yummy THAI food, oh yeah, and a raspberry filled donut!
