With many serial dieters, theres a pattern of really low calories and then a higher calorie day or two on the weekend which can easily remove any calorie deficit. Even if you still end up at a deficit for the week, it messes with your ability to recognize hunger signals and fullness. Consistency in calories is huge in the process of losing weight. The scale is much friendlier if someone eats 1800 calories 7 days a week (12,600 calories) than eating 1300 calories 5 days a week and then 3000 on the weekend days. It may be the same amount of calories, but the second way messes with the scale from water retention and also with hunger and your metabolism. This has a big impact on motivation and your ability to stay the course. Yes, calories count but there are the mental factors to consider too. If you see results, youll be more likely to keep going and that will be better in the long run.
