    You have done absolutely nothing to show THAT part as FACT. I for one would absolutely love to see good sources stating that the 2X maintenance of starchy carbohydrates every other week is fact, as opposed to say 1.875X Maintenance or 2.125X Maintenance.

    You're right - 2x maintenance is an arbitrary number - sometimes it's 3x maintenance! for some trainees it's 1.5x maintenance. It cannot be studied because of variations in somatotypes. Regardless, the studies state "OVERFEEDING" meaning eating above maintenance.

    I currently have a client that started a cyclical diet with me and lost two inches on her waist 1 day after her refeed day - which btw is weekly not biweekly. Another client lost 3 lbs two days after her refeed day.

    Hi, It may take you a while longer to really notice any significant changes - one day you'll wake up and it will seem like you lost it all at once.

    Don't get discouraged. Keep an eye on your food intake and keep exercising. You body needs to "catch-up" to where you mind wants it to be.

    Keep up the good work!

    Not much help here, just feeling your pain. I have not lost a pound in months. I have many, many to go. It is frustrating. I have tried it all...upping calories, cutting them, upping exercise, pulling back, etc. Nothing is working. I am at the gym 5 days a week, and right now on 3 of those days I am there 2x, until schedules for the kids change. It is making me truly batty! But I keep doing it, hoping that soon I will see a breakthrough.

    Same here!!!
