You'll still eat the same amount of calories (or less) by the end of 2 weeks, but you'll have MUCH better workout performance, recovery, & general health. Not to mention, you won't be wallowing around in the world of disordered eating. I understand that May is right around the corner, so my suggestion to you is to crank up your training output and be more linear with your caloric input, then the adaptations will be closer to ideal.
Sounds like great advice. I appreciate it and will put it into use tomorrow. I have some beautiful pears in the fridge!
