re: Timing Deficit Calories vs Maintenance Calories

I'm wondering if there would be more long term success in NOT adjusting my calories as my weight decreases and just letting the weight-loss curve flatten out naturally. Thoughts from others who may have gone thru the same changes or have seen success failures from either strategy.

Yes, youll just get very lean. It will get harder to maintain calorie deficits, the leaner you get. You are right that your body will adjust. It may lead to some tiredness etc that you arent used to. This is why many throw in a maintenance week on a long calorie deficit(*If you are already lean)
