You could have ice cream every day if you built it into your daily calories and same with the Sunday funday cheat meal. As long as it’s a cheat meal not a cheat day. As if you go for broke for a whole day you will undo the good work from the other 6 days
I guess but that wouldn't really be cutting down on sugar which is my goal more so than dieting.

Why are you cutting back on sugar? If it’s not to improve your diet? What does cutting down on sugar as a goal look like?
Is the goal no sugar to tick the goal or is it something else? I’m trying to see how you know if you’re actually achieving that goal? If you have sugar on Sunday is that just undone the weeks battle with sugar?
Like my goal is to drop to 20% body fat . I can measure and see progress etc and will know once I get it.
I guess you could say something like reduce weekly refined sugars to x grams maybe 🤔

I don't need a rigid goal. It's much more about getting a negative habit under control. I mean diabetes runs in my family so watching my sugar intake could help to avoid that as I age but it's mostly about recognizing a bad habit and trying to correct it. I don't think eating sugary goodies once a week is going to undo restricting sugar the rest of the week. It's not like I am going to eat sweets all day on cheat day. it just means I can give myself a break an enjoy some sweets.

Yeah makes sense. Have you thought about buying an ice cream maker they are very affordable and you can make your sweet treat a cleaner healthier thing that you could enjoy whenever. I see you could add protein and other things to actually make a health beneficial treat tick more boxes

Not a bad idea and my daughter would love making ice cream with me.
