is high time for a diet break.
The way you can define a diet break, put some parameters on it.
So it's what I call non-YOLO maintenance.
So you take off the rules, take off the restrictions, but you're not eating with sheer abandon.
You're just relaxing the diet.
You take a week off the diet, either every four to eight weeks while you're dieting, or you take a week off of the diet every five to 10 pounds that you lose.
And the sound of 5 to 10 pounds seems like, oh, that's nothing.
But no, it's a milestone.
This is 10 pounds?
Yes.
That's crazy.
10 pounds of butter off the body.
So yeah, every time you lose 10 pounds, it's 5 to 10 pounds, in my experience, is high time to take a diet break to just alleviate the mental and the physical fatigue of dieting.
And that's one of the tactics that you can use for a long-term adherence to a plan.
On the topic of plateaus, when you're dieting, you will hit a point where the plateau periods or the maintenance phases change.
are going to be longer than the dieting phases.
I think that that's ideal to be able to hit that point for a long-term weight loss goal.
And so it's a lot easier or at least a lot less intimidating for somebody to know that they're going to be dieting for four to eight weeks at a time in between a, let's say, a two to three month maintenance phase.
For the control of calories in, fasting is legit.
And it's also legit for – it actually works as one of the options for dieting.
