チートデイ
Significado: Cheat day — a planned break from dieting where you eat freely and guilt-free.
チートデイ is borrowed from English fitness culture and has become widely used in Japan among dieters and fitness enthusiasts. The concept is that strategically allowing yourself to eat whatever you want for one day helps sustain long-term diet adherence and can boost metabolism. It has expanded beyond strict fitness contexts and is now used loosely by anyone taking a break from healthy eating.
