The body is also very good at self preservation and if you eat consistently low for a period of time the metabolism adjusts to allow you to survive.
Now if you constantly keep it off guard with higher and lower cals then its always confused and as long as the calories remain in an over all deficit you should keep losing.
Rabbit Starvation is the obvious exception to any diet rules.
yes, i have to say about the "galeniko approach",sure thing it works.
but once you have crashed the calories, theres no going back.if one goes higher, the body gonna store the fat and water in an unbelievable fast rate.
sure one refeed when depleted will not hurt, but neither will it boost metabolism, theres only few way to keep a metabolism going, and going too low on cals is not 1 off them.
when already crahed,theres only 2 ways to go further, reduce even more, or be more actuve,which will be hard bc theres simply not much energy for much more than the training and zmbying through the day.
for me its no problem though i know whats to come and know ill hold through.
if one hasnt got the mental power, better to stick to a carbo cycling regiment.
its always relative, when im 8% bodyfat, ie very soft for my standards, i can go on with very little food,the feeling on having plenty energy is there, bc im used to much lower standards.
some other person could be feeling as drained at 12% as i do at 5%, simply bc hes used to being 15+%
and with the crashing down, but this goes for all bbuilding diets, must be very careful when increasing calories later on.
but i simply use the very easy "trick" of no eating unless hungry and thats it.
that way must never count calories.or schedule meals.
i know, you schedule small meals bc you know youll be hungry by the time youre "supposed"to eat again, this is very smart approach and has nothing to do with a dumbass who simple schedules 5 or 6 meals bc theres atherory out there saying so.
