I am not ready to burn out yet, but often when I reach a certain milestone I just start to burn out. What are your tips for staying on track with nutrition (mostly).

    Be flexible. It's about overall, long-term calorie deficit. For example my calorie deficit per week, if I hit my daily goal, is 5,250 calories. I usually go over 300 to 900 calories once or twice a week when I'm out with friends. Still losing weight overall.

    Be adventurous. Make new recipes. Try something you haven't tried before.

    No food is truly bad for you. Only quantities. A slice of chocolate cake isn't bad for you. The whole thing once a week? Perhaps, just a bit.

    Variety is the spice of life. I like going to the farmers market, picking a vegetable or fruit I never tried and going on the internet to find a recipe. as above BE ADVENTUROUS
