haha, too funny. But made some sense. I have been trending my calories every week, and been taking the average. Weekly average comes out to about 1550. I can go down,and can do this by lowering my calories on the refeeds/high days. So instead of having the big 300-400g carb 2500 calorie refeed, I should probably take it down to maintanence level cals (1800) and drop my carbs to 200-250. This will automatically bring my average down. Dont think 10 days is enough time to tell though...weight loss has been very slow.

Question: If I just use my vacation as my diet break, is 4 days enough to get the hormones back up? I read that you need about 2 weeks to get that advantage. Sorry for the questions, I was doing so good and the 2 weeks seems like it would be a temp setback!
