You're probably category 2 so you would follow the diet for 2-6 week before taking a break.
I am, and I should be able to handle it for that time period..

But from what I've read so far even Lyle doesn't think it's such a good idea..

Of the reasons he gives for possibly NEEDING to do this drastic diet, the one that fits me is being in too much of a hurry to get back to a regular eating and lifting routine as quickly as possible..

I don't know if that's the best of reasons, and that I might be better served just cutting calories a bit more, perhaps even doubling it to a 1,000 cals a day (2100-2000)..

I'll ask him wether I need to take a diet break at such a mild deficit..

He already intimated that I should, but I'll clarify my position and see what he says..
