I was losing fat, albeit slowly, while eating around maintenance. The great thing about eating more is that I felt really energized, happy, and my body recovered from exercise quickly. Right now, I've cut calories and switched to NROL Fat Loss 1, and boy, is there a difference. I'm MUCH more tired, my body doesn't recover so fast and I'm sore for days, and there are some days where I'm a bit grouchy.

I'd say keep eating like you're eating. If you only have 10lbs to lose, it'll come. If you need to, you can always cut calories later. Give your body some time to build up muscle and feel good about the program.

The funny thing about hunger is that it can come and go so quickly. If you start a harder stage, you may find yourself ravenous. And I swear some days, you just feel hungrier than others - the days when you have a perfectly balanced breakfast, but you're still starving a little while later. I don't know why that is.

Anyway, if it ain't broke, as they say...
