Cheat Meal

I was recently reading about various meal plans and how you should not deprive yourself of a craving. Research shows that you fall much harder if you don't give in to your cravings...moderately, of course. So they were talking about adding a cheat meal or a cheat snack to your routine. The method they give for doing that and not going overboard or feeling like a failure: "follow every cheat meal with at least 5 healthy meals." I like that idea, and I'm a rule follower. So if I decide that's the rule, then I'm good!
