Thanks Julie.
The bad news is that maintenance has dropped since I have started doing NROL. Can't say though whether this can be blamed to NROL or adding back more cardio or ... going on a 2meal/day pattern for rest days as well as going back to lifting just 3 times/week.
Since I really dig that eating style of eating just twice a day on rest days, I've decided to try something else first: switching back to working out every other day.
Working out every other day really feels best for my body, plus it jives much better with intermittent fasting , the eating style I've adopted a few months ago. I'd already started zigzagging and eat 3 meals on rest days in Sept 2006 and had good luck with this, viz. lost more fat than ever before except when I'd first started a ketodiet in 2002.
The main culinary advantage will be that I will no longer need to eat lower calories 2 days in a row. The disadvantage will be once again that some weeks I'll end up in a busier gym as Mon-Wed-Fri & Sun are more popular days to work out than the days I'd chosen: Tues-Thurs-Sat.
Now I'm hoping things won't be really bad on those days when I'm going to do FL3 as this makes you do a circuit of 4 exercises
