[quote=Anonymous]I'm doing a 6 week challenge and have been following a pretty strict eating plan that averages about 1300 cals/day of food.  It also has 5x/week HIIT classes that burn ~300-500 cals.  Does that mean my body thinks it's only getting 800-1000 calories per day?  Or does my body recognize that I'm really eating 1300?  (I'm curious if the body thinks it's being restricted if you eat enough, but burn so you're still in a deficit?)

Another Q:  I've got just over a week left, and will end with about a 20 lb weight loss.  I still have an obscene amount to lose though, and want to continue.  Would it be best to "take a couple weeks off" where I eat enough to maintain, not lose, then start back up?  Or should I just continue what I'm doing?

The eating plan is strict as in 6 meals, each must consist of x gram carbs, fat, protein etc., but I never feel deprived or hungry so I don't worry that I can't continue.  It's actually taught me a lot about portions.  It's just boring.

thank you for any advice![/quote]
