Once a week binge
So I have been keeping up with my 1,400 cal every day but I have noticed that about once every one or two weeks I’m binging from 2,000 to 3,000. I’ve lost 20 pounds with my diet so far. I guess I’m just worried that binging once every one or two weeks will have a negative impact on my progress.
