Hello All,
I lost 25KG (55lbs) in a few short months (high protein, low calories for 3+ months) and now I'm down to 67KG (147lbs). I'm Male and 170cm.
I've got to a weight I'm happy with and I switched to Maintenance about 90 days ago.
However I'm still losing weight, but slower. I will eat clean and fairly low calories during the week about 1200-1500 a day (3 meals a day, volume eating mostly, chicken, fish, vegetables, low carb) and come Friday night, I will eat what I did before my weight loss (in smaller doses), as a way of balancing. So for example a large pizza on Friday night with garlic bread, some ice-cream. Next day I'll have streak and chips and carb heavy foods for lunch. Beers (quite a few) on Sunday (drink one day a week only) usually with ramen or the such beforehand. They are usually 2000+ heavy days.
Come Monday back to wholefoods and low carbs and eating good.
I was doing this as a way of balancing what I eat and my calorie intake. But I'm still losing weight. I've lost 2.5KG (5.5lbs) the past 30 days and pretty much the same (if not more) the month before.
I'm not gorging myself. I'm not snacking during the weekend either. I'm just trying to balance my calories and it's not working. It's hard to count calories when food is takeaway. I've also slowed down on cardio in recent times to see if that changes anything.
Does anything have any experience to give? Everyone (understandably) talks about dieting, but maintenance has been tricky for me. Getting a balance right. I don't want to just eat more clean foods. I want some balance and moderation.
