    Yes! I read an article on here recently that talked about how taking planned diet breaks helps with long term weight loss. I've been on a strict diet plan and transitioned off it for 2 weeks (maintaining my exact weight) and when I started it back up the weight seemed to come off pretty quick! I'm planning on taking 2 week maintenance breaks every 10lbs or so :)

    I took a week off after dieting for a year. I'm not talking about Cheat Days, I'm talking about eating at maintenance calories to get through a stall. I did occasionally have a cheat meal throughout the year but usually only went over a couple hundred calories and only once every two or three weeks. I also logged everything I ate during my cheat meal. Same thing with maintenance.
