Lmfao! Keep up the commitment 👏

Lmaooo me too bro!

Man my diet break's been about 6 years as well.

Im on 8 year bulking cycle

Absolutely. I wouldnt cut more then 6 weeks or even less. Never over.

Is this app free?

awesme man ! May I ask how would you slowly add calories back to TDEE? meaning how long into maintenance phase before you hit those maintenance calories?

Nice work!

Minus 41 likes for having 300 pounds to lose in the first place. Society is now congratulating ppl for doing stupid shit. It’s all backwards, and will not survive much longer.

Amazing!

Funny how you dismissed occasionally regaining up to 20lbs. Most of the health damage is done while gaining weight (calorie surplus, hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia, etc) instead of while maintaining an obese weight, although it may not be the case if you are over 400lbs. Anyway, congratulations on you impressive weight loss, keep it up.

Yes I agree, as a women it's so tough w/ the pms changes 2 weeks out of the month. When the body is more tired and stressed. I feel the same...being too rigid around that time isn't beneficial. It feels like it's impossible to be so strict w/ self during those hormone changes. That would actually be a great idea for women, flexible eating going off their cycles. I was diagnosed w/ pmdd so my pms isn't the typical. It feels more intense. I'm so glad I found Laynes channel, cause all the crap out there is too much sometimes. It really could put a lot of pressure on a person. ❤

I'm the same way. During Thanksgiving and Christmas weeks I had two diet breaks and I was anxious the whole time. I was worried about screwing up my diet and not being able to get back on it again. The water weight I gained during those weeks was tough mentally (even though I knew it was just water). I guess it's just a psychological thing. Once I've set up my diet routine, it's pretty easy to keep going and any diet break just feels like I'm wasting time.

@@Mekias That can certainly happen, in a few different ways. Chronic dieters are understandably apprehensive because every time they’ve ended a diet in the past they quickly regained the weight. (It also doesn’t help when you’ve been socialized to see any uptick in the scale as a negative.) Others have trouble adhering to a maintenance goal. They’re not on a mission anymore, so they kinda lose focus and let the good habits slide. For these people coaches will usually recommend performance goals, like getting your first chin-up. You can build a lot of strength when you’re properly fueled. At the same time you’re fighting the physiological drive to regain weight. As Layne describes in his “Why Diets Fail” series, when you lose fat your body tends to increase signals for hunger and cravings so that when food is available again, you’ll eat a bunch and replenish your fat stores. This is why it’s a good idea to take breaks or end fat loss phases _before_ they get too stressful. That way you have some strength left to get you through those first few weeks where you want to eat all the things. As long as it keeps working for me, my workflow is going to be bigger blocks: 4-8 weeks dieting, 4-8 weeks not, repeat as needed.

Sounds like me, frequent short breaks slow down my progress and make me binge. I feel they are a sure path to an eating disorder. I do much better with a consistent routine slowly raising the deficit and then longer diet breaks, when I still had a lot to lose. People are different I guess.

I’m in the same boat as you. I get into a rhythm when dieting. So my diet break is usually every 6-12 weeks. Usually it’s a 2 week diet break.

There have been at least two studies on diet breaks, one with a 2 weeks on, 2 off cadence that showed a benefit to metabolic rate, and the other 3 on, 1 off and not showing that benefit. Doc did a video discussing those. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XplkrDJ-RLI.html tldw, even if the fat-loss benefits don’t pan out, the researchers in the 3:1 study found that breaks also reduced hunger. If that helps adherence in the real world, that’s a very good thing.

You don't need a study, the individual response is too widly spread. Do what works best for you.

@@tilfliegel That too. I’m not that keen on diet breaks myself because I feel hungriest around days 3-10 after ending a diet. I can understand taking a break for special occasions or if I needed a mental break, but going in and out of a deficit every few weeks would probably be more stressful for me, not less.

please watch the video. I specifically say how much weight loss to target

@@biolayne1 maybe I misunderstood. I heard you say a target of .8 to 1 percent of body weight but I'm not sure necessarily how much of a calorie deficit that would be to reach that. I guess that's where your app would come into play. Thanks

I never cut carbs. I prefer cutting out the fats and keeping in my lovely carbs. Carbs are king for keeping muscle and gym performance and fats i eat at absolute bare physical minimum (essential fats)

I'd have to understand his reasoning

Good question

He says it's to get rid of diet fatigue and get your metabolism back to normal

I've had good success with long diet phases and long breaks. And bad experiences with sprinting and short breaks. You have to find out what works better for you.

@@tilfliegel I'm the same

He means TDEE

It wouldnt or minimaly.

Keep carbs around gym to ensure good performance
