Weight loss : maintenance / calorie deficit

26d ago in OTHERS

Hey,

I'm in a maintenance phase right now before starting calorie deficit 'cause I was not eating enough. For the moment it's my 2nd week only.

How much time should I stay in this phase ?

I've seen a lot of different things so I'm not sure about what to do.

For the calorie deficit phase, I've seen that being in a deficit for 6 / 8 weeks and then diet break for 2 weeks was optimal. But with a 500 kcal deficit, is it not too risky to regain weight during the diet break ? 'Cause + 500 kcal after deficit seems a lot directly after.

Or will I gain weight 'cause of this break and then just lose it normally after ? I need to do several times this deficit + break to lose enough weight (ideally lose around 13 kg to be more leaner).

Thanks in advance for your responses
