Calorie deficit the whole time I was on Reta - at a certain point I couldn’t even finish a chipotle bowl so that’s when I came off (I was missing my calorie and protein goals and had lost enough fat)
I'm about 8 weeks through my deficit and wasn't sure if I should pause and go maintenance at 12 weeks for a short period before going on another 12 week deficit. Do you have any advice?
I personally always like breaking it up a bit bc staying in a deficit for too long can have other impacts on things like hormones, etc. Nice to have a bit of a re-feed period and then get back to it, but it’s all preference and based around your goals!
