After what I’ve learned about our bodies, it makes sense to me that the slower and more gradually you try to change something about yourself, the better. Our bodies really don’t like to change, so the more we can get them to believe that nothing dramatic is happening, the more likely we are to succeed!

@V King Haha at diet vacation - a well structured diet break does wonders mentally & physically for me. I personally like them. The idea of calling meals/food 'cheats' is toxic in itself because it has the idea of 'cheating' on a diet or feeling bad for eating certain things (in my opinion) so I just prefer to call food 'food' haha some is more nutrient dense, some is less :) All is yummy.

I’ve been trying to lose weight. I started January 23. I was pretty much cutting way too aggressively. I was at 270 pounds. I plateaued at 240 pounds. I had been at a deficit for the last five months. So I gave myself a week break to where I would eat how I normally eat. No junk food. But I eat more. I was actually full after my meals. That ended up going on for two weeks. Then I got back on my deficit. I got through the plateau. Surprisingly, even though I ate more the last two weeks. I felt better, I had more energy. And now I’m starting to drop in weight again. Then I see this video? It kind of makes sense

I lost 85 lbs since March last year and I basically unknowingly did diet breaks. I was very disciplined for 2-3 weeks and then naturally ate around maintenance for 1-2 weeks never more than 2 or else I found myself falling back into old habits. Everyone asks how I’ve been able to keep it off/keep losing and it’s bc it really doesn’t feel like much of a restriction to me anymore but more of a lifestyle. Whatever you do, consistency is key!

@LAGman91 3 года назад

What maintenance though? The initial one on your higher bodyweight or a new one at the current bodyweight? If it is the old one then I suppose it would be a surplus at the current moment.

@JonathanSchoreels91 3 года назад

It can be stressful to go to a plateau when you lose weight. But it's maybe a positive thing : That plateau will allow you to make a "break" to then, start "fresh" a new cycle. Just like mesocycle for strength building, it would be a mesocycle for weight loss.

@fotisnikolaidis2313 3 года назад

Just swap one of your regular meals to a cheat esque meal without overshooting more than 300xalories over what you already eat, you cant tell me you need 700calories of junk to manage your cravings assuming 400cals of your average meal + the 300 extra the junk.is gonna have. My personal trick is getting oatmeal.with chocolate flavor add protein powder and a banana or two and it feels like a cheat meal but.its actually healthy.

@jasonvoorhees895 2 года назад

Here's what I've experienced: A few years back, I started making some dietary changes. Not with the goal of losing weight, but I started going to school, and had gotten into the bad habit of fueling myself on sugar and caffeine throughout the day, and it was affecting my moods really bad. My first change was to make myself eat oatmeal in the morning, instead of a muffin, or pastry (i don't have an appetite in the morning.) Suddenly, I started losing weight. Long story short, I cut out regular sugar, white flour, the carbs I eat are low-glycemic, and I lost 50 lbs in about 9 months time. HOWEVER, I hit certain plateaus along the way where it seemed like I wasn't losing weight, even though I was sticking strictly to "the diet." Also, since I wasn't exactly making a huge deal about losing weight, there were times I went off the diet, carbed up, and ate refined sugars...then noticed the plateau busted, and the weight start coming off again. At first, I thought I was imagining things, and there must be something else going on inside my body that I didn't know about. THEN, at some point I saw a video by Dr. Berg where he said that a low carb/low glycemic diet CAN help a person lose weight, "...IN THE CONTEXT OF A HIGH CARBOHYDRATE DIET." He pointed out that after a period of carbohydrate deprivation, our bodies will eventually have the same insulin responses to fats and proteins as it does carbohydrates. That seemed to explain what I was experiencing.

@ceshockey6 Год назад

bang on about this ive always been a leaner guy naturally but when i would diet for summer etc...i would get scale focused for some odd reason and i noticed after a while the number wouldnt go lower until i through in these crazy cheat days. A day or two after the scale would just drop to new lows.

@abishouse7910 9 месяцев назад

I experienced the same just this month by accident. I was eating low calories and low carns low fat for about two weeks not really noticing too much weight loss. Then I ate my favorite meal tikka masala with white rice and garlic nan bread for breakfast and dinner for three days in a row during moving house and then went back to low calories and oh my goodness I could see such fast weight loss results within 1-3 days physically in front of my eyes. I haven’t got on the scale yet but I plan to once a month instead of once a day which was discouraging

@plugingames6989 2 года назад

In my experience, refeed days and workout breaks both work wonders to break plateaus and to keep the body moving and burning fat. So it is a great physiological tool, not just a psychological one. I was forced to stop training and dieting for 3 days, basically junk food all that time, and the week I got back was the one I noticed the most drastic and accelerated fat reduction during the cutting, I got much leaner than I was before the break, vascularity increased crazily.

We're not sports people, but we do hike A LOT. One thing we've noticed recently is how our fat isn't quite going away at the rate we thought it would. We know nutrition and diet is very key to this, but its hard to hear people tell you about a diet they use and say "Trust me"... We much prefer taking our workouts and diet from a scientific perspective. So watching your videos has helped us realize some things we've been doing wrong, and some we're doing right. Thank for making these videos.

Jeff- I was on a cut for 2 months and was starting to get to the point of feeling fatigued physically and mentally and extremely hungry! I lost 10 pounds which was awesome, but My appetite I know was much bigger than 1500 cals. I decided to just take a week diet break at approx 1900 calories a day, and it helped immensely! My appetite went back down to normal and I’m ready to do the second half of my cut, 10 more pounds. Then of course, settle for maintenance calories. Also would like to tell you I completed your upper/lower hypertrophy 8 week program and see awesome results but am going to run through another cycle of it until my cut is over. Then onto your power building program 💪🏻👍🏻 Thanks for all of your advice!!

When I was dieting to lose weight I 'd have cheat days from time to time, usually 1 cheat day every few weeks and I would just eat whatever I wanted. I'm sure these cheat days would have slowed down the weight loss process but the reality was that cheat days helped me to achieve my goal because being on a calorie restrictive diet for a long period of time can be very hard and cheat days were a great way to stop me from going insane from dieting. After a cheat day I felt refreshed and refocused.

@findingfitmom9926 3 года назад

This was awesome information. I have been on a weight loss journey for a very long time, but this year has been my most consistent year. I tracked for a month found a good baseline where I make progress, but also don’t feel miserable. But I felt like I needed to take a break from tracking. I’m sticking to my same meals that I was having while tracking so I know I’m in a good range of calories and I’m still constantly making progress, but this last week I felt two things, 1. I needed a short break from training so hard (so I took 3 days off) 2. I felt like I needed a little more food than what I normally consume. Now that I’m on my last day of the break, I naturally went back to my pre planned basic meals and am ready to hit the gym tomorrow. (The day I decided to take this break was because I was crying at the start of a training session from just being so emotionally and physically worn down... pushed through that workout and decided it was time for a short break). I’m super happy I took this break and happy that it reinvigorated me to want to go back to training.

@mobeennawaz1506 3 года назад

Evidence Based advise... Truly unrivalled

@littletyke76 3 года назад

Try it and see if it works for you! Do your own experiment. Everyone works slightly differently. Probably doesn't offer too much more benefit that say just taking your days carb total and loading it mostly around your workout (Jeff did a vid on his daily diet and it was this approach) but who is to say you personally won't get more benefit in your suggested method. There is probably a value out there saying how much carbs taken before a workout is optimal to give you the best bang for your buck, though I would assume loading too much beforehand just has a tapered effect of diminishing return, but without trawling through the web I dno what that is! Maybe you could find such a thing.

@bunny2chandu 3 года назад

So when on a diet break, should we calculate our maintenance every time, keeping in mind our lost weight during the process ? If yes, should we lower the deficit after the diet break, according to the new maintenance calculated?

@sweetcheex 3 года назад

My input on this, when you schedule the diet break you should have a rough idea of how much weight you're losing per week, so let's say you're losing 1lb per week and you want a diet break, with that in mind you'll know you're about 3500 calories deficit per week, so 500 per day let's say, so just add 500 to what calories you're currently on whilst losing 1lb per week, that usually works out around maintenance sometimes slightly over or slightly under as water weight will be a thing and glycogen replenishment. When you want to continue dieting, you drop off however much you want, so 250 if you want 0.5lb per week etc. Hope that helps. This is the way I've approached it from going from 236 to 214 to 216.5 since Jan (finished 214, 216.5 is roughly the weight when glycogen is back in my body and it fluctuates under and over some days but all I did was add 500 calories to my deficit I was on so I'm now eating 2950 instead of 2450 til 6th June before carrying on).

@MorganBarbarian 3 года назад

If you are calculating with your body fat percentage included, so that your lean mass is determining your maintenance calories, it shouldn’t change too much. If you base entirely off total weight you could drop the maintenance too much and risk some muscle loss. So yes recalculate, but use a formula that takes into account your body fat %.
