theresatHave any of you fitness-types heard of calorie cycling?
From what I understand, the basic idea is to vary your calorie intake from day to day, so that you basically trick your body into thinking your aren't on a diet. Supposedly, you won't hit the "plateau" a lot of people hit when they've been going at the dieting/exercise thing for a while.
I've been trying to find info on it, and a quick search didn't give me much other than people's personal pages talking about it. I'm looking for some sort of a fitness/medical/expert standpoint on it. It seems like an interesting idea.
