Richard at Free The Animal blogged about a study that was both interesting and timely, at least to me.
I’ve been successfully controlling my weight in a within two pounds of my final diet day weigh-in for about a month, but I’m always interested in tips and tricks.
I’ve recently read about the Johnson Up Down Day Diet. There’s also the Bang Bang Diet, but I don’t think that would work for me for a variety of reasons.
After reading the study, I’m encouraged re: trying their method (including intermittent fast, something the JUDDD does not require) to lose about 10 more pounds. I’m really impressed with it in particular because a feast day / fast day diet is something that could be done through the holiday season and would allow me to not worry about what I’m eating *every* day, but only every other day. At first, I think I would track the up day too because I really want the data.
I never take my calories as low as 25% of maintenance if I’m over the range, but I do make cuts and changes, and it always knocks off the weight. I only need to make cuts or changes about once a week, not every other day. I’m also very confident that I know my maintenance calorie level, and without that, I might not try this.
