On my way out for sushi on my "off day" :)
There is a concept which weight lifters have been using for years (calorie cycling) which as of late, I have heard of as "dieting every other day" I think I would actually call it: Two days on, and one day off......although I suppose you could truly do every other day if you wanted to. Here is the idea: If you are looking to lose weight, you find out the number of calories you would need per day to lose. Say that number is 1700 for me. 3 days of 1700 calories would be 5100 calories all together. To do this diet, all you have to do it manage to hit this total number over the course of three days. For example day 1: 1200+ day 2 1200 = 2400. This leaves 2700 for total calories allowed on day three.....Basically, I think this concept works out well for a number of reasons....it allows for going out socially, and not being quite as strict, tricking your body so that it doesn't know what to expect for a caloric intake, and also breaking uo the sheer monotony of dieting.....which can really wear on you day in and day out. It makes it so much more manageable to diet for a day or two, instead of indefinitely!
Stay gorgeous and healthy!
