[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Calorie cycling. That is the only thing that works. Do not listen to people telling you to eat 1000 calories all the time. That will cause many issues, such as clinging to every extra calorie when you eat a tiny bit more, which you will do. Your body wants more calories.[/quote]
Could you share some details about how you do this PP? Curious about whether you do every other day, weekends/weeks and the calorie differential. [/quote]

I often have two weeks or so of eating anything as much as I want. Way more than some 1600-2000 calories that are recommended for me. I am 5'4" and at my "heaviest" now at 120lbs and 51 years old. I often skip lunch at work, though. Sometimes I skip breakfast. I sometimes eat all three meals and large ones, then I eat small portions for a week or two, then back to more calories. I do not follow some two weeks off, two weeks on, strict regime. Whenever I eat more, unless I do not stop for a month, I do not gain weight. Anytime I restrict myself to 1200 calories unless I was cycling before, I gain weight. This is something that I've always done without thinking about it. Only recently, I found out that it is called calorie cycling.
Sorry I can't be more helpful. It is just something I do not pay that much attention to, but I am sure if you google it, you will find out. There is science behind it, or so I understand.[/quote]
