re: Need help with the last few pounds

if you are counting calories, one thing i have found is that if you are eating at a deficit for a long time and your metabolism starts to slow it can be beneficial to do a reverse diet for a little bit to boost the metabolism back up. i add about 50 cals to my daily total per week and keep monitoring the scale. from there you can eat at maintenance for a while or go back into a cut. this might be anecdotal but i typically drop a pound or two when i add cals the first couple of weeks.
