Hi y'all,

So I've been losing my weight with the TDEE-20% principle. That went very well! Then I hit a plateau (for almost 3 months) which is very normal. In order to get my hormone levels back to normal and eventually break my plateau, I'm currently eating at TDEE.

I must admit I really really REALLY love to eat at TDEE, because I can eat so much right know:tongue: . The big problem now, is that I really feel I stuff my face with sooo much food in order to reach my TDEE. The downside of this all is that I'm feeling like I'm losing my boundaries that I've created since losing weight. I'm now eating almost everything that I didn't this last few months, so I'm worrying that when I reach my goal weight, I will left everything I've learned about food, behind me and go back to my way of eating in the past..

How do you manage these things?

    You are managing it right now simply by acknowledging that there is a "weakness" in there. Put your mind in the right place and your body will follow. If you want to let yourself slack off, then you will. If you want to keep what you have earned thus far and achieve new goals, you will.

    Enjoy eating at TDEE , but know that WHAT you consume matters just as much if not more than HOW MUCH you consume. Its good for you to eat at TDEE, fuel for the fire. Just make sure that fuel is premium not regular. Remember why you started this journey ALWAYS and press on :)

    Eat nuts, advocado and low fat cheese. These are high calorie but still healthy.

    i have been maintaining for a while, and have found that if i have eaten plenty of fruit and veg, and hit my protein count for the day, the odd treat wont hurt.... that doesnt mean eat cake everyday, but if you want a slice every so often, thats fine!

    also, increase your portions of the good stuff a little, so you dont come up short and then need to fill your calories with chocolate!
