Thank you for the heads up. I am going to have to look up strategic refeeds. Sounds like an interesting idea.

I tend to think it would not work for me.

it works and it doesn't even need to be a full week sometimes just a day other times a weekend

I just watched a video about this today. I’m a huge nerd and about a year ago I tracked everything on spreadsheets to see what the heck I could do to be able to eat more. I was eating about 1300 cal a day and had been for about 10 years. I’m 5’10” and that is really not much. I worked out a few days a week and just maintained. Now I’m eating about 1850 to maintain! I called it reverse dieting but it’s the same concept. I think it’s awesome!

I think this is key as well as carb cycling. Works for me when I find I’m not losing

Also Interested. Can’t get the scale to budge. Afraid to go too low or too high.

I'm interested to see it but too early in my investigations to want to try it yet... Still working through my first hypothesis. :)

I agree with what OTB said. It definitely works. Also, If you have more than 25 lbs to lose (like I did), it’s recommended that you lose weight in stages to prevent diet fatigue and prevent those plateaus. You would eat in a deficit, lose 10 to 15 percent of your body weight, then eat at maintenance for 2 to 3 months, then start the deficit all over. It’s not a fast weight loss approach, but it prevents plateaus, prevents rapid regaining after eating to few calories and it keeps weight off long term. It also prevents your calories from getting too low. Just sharing an approach I’ve used over the past 5 yrs.

diet breaks are good & refeeds are good. holding onto a high deficit for a long period is how people burn out.

I agree with Kennyn and that is a exactly what I did over the past five years. I am letting my body find its natural weight and not coming up with an arbitrary number I want to see on the scale. The range of a healthy weight has many variables.
