I'm really curious about people's thoughts on this topic. I started losing weight January 2019 and since then I've lost about 125lbs. Over the past ~18 months I have targeted being in a deficit every day. I've aimed for 1,500 calories every day, I never took rest days or had periods of maintenance.
There will have been plenty of days where I have exceeded my calorie goal (I reckon my real average calories per day is closer to ~1,700). For example days where I've had takeaway, alcohol, milkshakes, etc but I've never taken a break on purpose. Is this something I should have been doing? Should I start doing it going forward? I've seen a lot of people recommend periods of maintenence calories especially.
