    I have been doing a version of this for 2 months and got off my 2 month plateau! they are many variants to this method and they all have results because what they all are essentially doing is re-surging your leptin levels therefore continuing weight loss from diet which usually tends to stop the longer you restrict your calories

    I can't really say I'm convinced. Biggest issue I see is that you say "it HAS to work for you". What works for one person my not necessary work for another.

    I just see the "every other diet" raising issues with ground you've covered from a previous successful day.

    If you reach a plateau in your weight loss, it's because your calorie deficit has diminished due to of the weight you have successfully lost, not because you body had figured out your eating habits. To kick this, it's as simple as increasing your exercise or decreasing calorie intake. I like to trust more credited references. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/weight-loss-plateau/MY01152

    Hi,

    For people who want to make their own zigzag calorie schedules (from your own calculated TDEE)

    Start with the number of calories you normally have your limit set to (this is TDEE-500 for 2lbs per week), we will call this AVE

    Day 1: AVE
    Day 2: AVE - 20%
    Day 3: AVE + 20%
    Day 4: AVE
    Day 5: AVE - 10%
    Day 6: AVE + 10%
    Day 7: AVE

    These numbers are directly from that site that the OP listed, I just changed it into percents.

    EXAMPLE:
    My average TDEE is 2090 (I got this number from my bodymedia fit) so my average number of daily calories to lose 2 lbs per week would be 1590. So AVE = 1590

    Day 1: 1590
    Day 2: 1590- 0.2*1590 = 1272
    Day 3: 1590+ 0.2*1590 = 1908
    Day 4: 1590
    Day 5: 1431
    Day 6: 1749
    Day 7: 1590

    If you have any questions about this, feel free to send me a message.

    So move your days around and call what they call Monday Friday or Saturday. Make it your own. I think it looks great and will be trying this myself starting next week. What a great idea. Just like muscle confusion with interval work out, its like interval calories.
