[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I literally just decided not to bother losing the last 5 lbs.  I just read this article about  yo yo dieting when you are already a healthy BMI, and it really hit home:  https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/wellness/yo-yo-dieting-isnt-just-counterproductive--it-could-put-you-at-risk/2017/03/27/329ecd90-0d9e-11e7-ab07-07d9f521f6b5_story.html?utm_term=.8548ea13b8aa

It's more important to think about healthy habits than to restrict food when you don't need to lose weight, because restricting food can end up backfiring on you.  [/quote]

Not questioning your decision, but restricting food is very different than cutting out cookies, biscotti, muffins, pancakes, etc.  [/quote]

Cutting out "all refined carbs" (sounds like what you are saying) definitely is restriction.  If you can lose 5lbs easily by cutting out a muffin a week, sure go for it.  But creating a calorie deficit to lose 5 lbs when you are already a normal BMI is likely going to take more than that.  [/quote]
