Nope. And it's not a good idea to do so, especially when you're trying to maintain a smaller deifict or are closer to GW. the reason being that at 2 to 400 calorie deficit can be wiped out by just one or two mistracked or misweighed meals. Also provided that most fitness trackers are up to 20% inaccurate, it's just not…

I'm cutting and down to 1200 high protein too! when people freak out about going 200 cal over at 2500 or more I just laugh. Until you've dealt with a margin of error as small as we currently are I think it's a little silly to get so upset over a few cals over. The difference between 200 cals over at 2500 vs. 1200 is pretty…

hi Tiaan - nice to meet you :) I'm currently using IF (16/8) to assist in the last 20 lbs of my cut and it's been working really well.

how accurately are you tracking your macros? do you weigh everything you put in your mouth? I had to do it for the first few weeks until I got a good idea of what portion sizes should look like. at the end of the day you have to be in a caloric deficit to lose weight, so if you're gaining weight you're not eating in a…

thanks for adding me! Definitely agree gradual changes are key. I will most definitely stick to that when reversing out of the diet in a few weeks. Canada for the win! :)

totally.. I'd rather just be able to pick up a piece of clothing and know if it's going to fit or not. I've gotten a lot better at eyeballing stuff and knowing if it will fit or not because labels cannot be trusted!

I've returned to this thread several times since I started my weight loss journey (30 lbs down!) hoping someone had posted something a bit more concrete answering what this is and if it's normal. Happy to share the following video which is really useful for illustrating that yes - this is normal adipose tissue resulting…
