    I am on my 3rd day of zig zagging and have lost 1 lb. This is what I am doing:

    Saturday 1800 cal
    Sunday 1200
    Monday 1400
    Tuesday 1400
    Wednesday 1800
    Thursday 1200
    Friday 1400

    I had been eating about 1400 cal a day, so Sunday was kind of a struggle for me. I am hoping this works! I want to lose about 10 lbs......I have heard great things about it and it does makes since. Like the others said, give it time for your body to adjust. Good luck!

    I find consistency works better for me than zig-zagging. I try to keep my calories between 1200 and 1300 every day. If I hit a plateau I bump my calories up about 400 per day for a week and gain a couple of pounds. Then I drop them back down to 1200-1300 and the pounds I gained drop immediately plus a few more!

    Good luck!

    Yep - here is a calculator that I used

    http://www.freedieting.com/tools/calorie_calculator.htm

    At the bottom under the "results" there is a little arrow that says "zig zag 7 day calorie cycle" click and you got it!
