I am done with Fat Lost TroubleShoot Leigh Peele's REPAIR Stage 1 (of

8 stages). After the 2 weeks I have lost 4 pounds but my lowest was

-6.5 during this period. Some of you might remember me as a non-loser.

One of the things she HIGHLY recommends is the cycle of deficit down,

then refeed after 12 weeks. Her refeed is a week of your maintenance

+, for me it would be 2000-2600 calories (but not an all out binge of

3000-4000 cal). It can include foods you haven't been eating,

restaurants etc. You may gain 2-3 pounds in this week.

Then you cut again for 12 weeks. That first week or 2 you should

lose the 2-3 and have a nice drop too!

Why not at least refeed 5 days, if not 7. The total results might be

worth it, instead of going straight into another challenge and

shutting down your metabolism
