BDDo diet breaks help fat loss?
Someone asked me how long you can be in a calorie deficit for and how often you should take a break.
That’s not easy to answer.
It probably depends on a whole shitload of factors like how fast someone is losing weight, what their body fat level is at, how they feel etc.
For example, I can maintain lower levels of body fat pretty effortlessly whereas a lot of people would start feeling like dog shit if they tried dieting even close to where I am (individual biology).
For some people, they might find diet breaks help with appetite regulation. For some people they might not notice this but find their performance in the gym improves.
Either way, there isn’t a whole shitload of research to look at.
So I thought a better way to answer this is to explain what a diet break is hoping to achieve so you can make the best decisions for yourself.
Have you tried them? If so what did you notice?
