I'm maintaining a fairly small calorie deficit and losing about 1/3 to 1/2 a pound a week. The calorie deficit is small because I cancel out about half of my daily calorie deficit with a once weekly cheat day.
On one hand, with the cheat day (which I sometimes save for special events) the current calorie amount doesn't feel like a huge sacrifice, just an increase in being careful. So maybe that means the weight I lose will stay off? Because I'll have an easier time not going back to an unhealthy lifestyle after?
On the other hand, maybe I should actually be more serious about this and the slowness means I'm not being serious enough. With the cheat day, I'm still making food a major source of pleasure in my life and maybe I shouldn't be doing that? I'm not sure.
Anyone experienced something similar and have any thoughts? Did losing weight more slowly help you keep it off?
