It's been nearly 3 months since my last post, and I'm happy to report that I lost 20+ lbs! I'm F, 22, 5'8, started at ~174 lbs and am ending my deficit now at 152 lbs. I was eating at a 1,650 calorie budget living a moderately active fluctuating lifestyle.
My question is: I've heard from many that you should take a break and shift over to maintenance after 12 weeks of eating at a calorie deficit to allow your metabolism some time to recover — is this true? I'm pretty satisfied with my weight loss journey, but I feel like I've almost become addicted to this lifestyle. My TDEE says my maintenance is around 2,220, but after this long, that seems a little steep? Can someone ease my fears about this? Is this recommended? My current plan is to start eating a bit under this for a few months and then begin another deficit to lose another 10 lbs before finishing.
Looking for whatever advice anyone has!
