Do you think I'm being wise with my weight loss plan? I did a cut from December to the middle of April and spent the summer in and out of maintenance, sometimes a little bit above and sometimes a little bit below my target weight. I am about 7 pounds away from my absolute goal, so I am doing a four-week more aggressive cut, even though I’ve been a little bit in and out of cuts all summer. My previous cuts have all been very gentle and gradual. I ended my big cut at 141 pounds and have maintained a weight of around 145 pounds all summer.
Can I still achieve solid results and hit my goal of around 14–15% body fat without being insanely strict all the time, considering my lifestyle includes travel, weekends, and family events? How much do less-strict periods actually hurt progress if the majority of the time I’m consistent with my nutrition? Where is the line between 'good enough' and 'needs to be tighter' in terms of flexibility in my diet?
What is a sustainable way to lose fat and maintain that weight as a lifestyle change?
