I'm planning on 12 weeks on and then 10-14 day break (maintenance cals)- I've been reading about this as well-

I just put in a call to the weight loss police- I think it's excessive as well, but good luck!

After reading several articles, this makes sense to me- what I've seen suggested is to do about 12-16 weeks cal. deficit and then go up to maintenance calories for 7-10 days- and then return to deficit.

Triple Zero Greek yogurt is good with any berries- all berries are low carb/low sugar compared to other fruits-maybe low sugar/carb protein shakes? I like "Orgain organic vanilla plant protein powder"- can mix with berries/yogurt too-

Shake it off- Mariah Carey
