Anyone Calorie Cycling? I'm thinking of giving it a go, how have you found it?

[MenaiStraitJacket]

I'm thinking of giving calorie cycling a try, to let me mix up my diet a bit and avoid weight plateaus as I lose. I always find I struggle to keep going when I hit a plateau so if I can avoid them it'd be great.

I've been reading this caloriecount.about.com/calorie-cycling-g272 and think I might try it.

The site gives this link to the Harris Benedict Equation to help you work out what your calorie needs are and also gives the option to zig-zag (cycle). I wonder whether is can work? Anyone done it? www.freedieting.com/tools/calorie_calculator.htm

I use myfitnesspal so not sure how it will fit with that, just keep logging to keep track I suppose.

Sorry, try that again with the links this time

That looks quite interesting... I used to use WW and the message boards are full of the Wendi Plan which involves doing something very similar with points - people swear by it. Are you still thinking of giving it a go?
