Hi all! I’ve just about hit the 20lbs weight loss mark, super proud and excited! I’ve made some really great lifestyle changes in the past 6 months that I’m happy to keep indefinitely (ex. Weight lifting, walking 10k steps a day, reducing snacking/stress eating).
I’ve been fortunate enough to work with a nutritionist and she’s recommended going on a diet break for 2 weeks, as I’m going on vacation and moving to a new city afterwards. I haven’t had any natural diet breaks. Then I can proceed with my final 10-15lbs of weight loss to get to my goal. This 2 week period coincides with my 6 months mark of consistent dieting.
I’m onboard with taking this break and have read/believe the research around it. My fear is that I don’t know what to eat with my extra 200-300 calories a day? I’m afraid when I add these back in I’ll get back into bad habits. How did folks on here go about eating on diet breaks and then transitioning back to a deficit? Any tips?
I’m 26yrs old, eating 1600 in deficit, 1800-1900 during my diet break, 2000 was my original maintenance pre-diet. I’m 155 now, started at 173 6 months ago.
Thanks in advance!
