>>324050 Don't worry about it. I make a point of ignoring most posts on /fit/ anyway. haha. I still stand behind my IF, but it is working for me, and much of this shit is individual, as much as people would like to believe otherwise. As someone above said, 3500=1lb, but it goes further than that....
Zigzag. I do understand it as a dieting term, but I also apply it as a training term. For example, I routinely take an entire week off of training. Or, I will lift heavy for three weeks, then one week, lift high rep, etc.
Anyway, for myself, my challenge has always been plateaus. Historically, when I plateau, I get frustrated, lose interest, and decline. I have gone through this problem for more than 12 years since I started getting "out of shape" as compared with my health as a "youth". Since adopting a zigzag approach to both diet and exercise (in the past 11 months), I have so far, not had any significant plateau issues (most of them have occurred at the 3-4 month mark). Just thought I would throw that out there. Either way, glad to hear you are backing off a little in your calorie counting. Being that strict (I think) takes away from the internal dialog that is going on in all of us to "eat that extra bite", and whatnot. Don't block your instincts too severely.
