I have been working the 12 week calorie controlled diet. Fortunately I didn't need to lose a massive amount of weight and it looks as though I will reach my weight goal before the 12 weeks are up. This is probably a stupid question, but once I have achieved my weight goal do I need to continue for the full 12 weeks (with probably additional weight loss) or can I stop when I am done!
As a supplementary question, is it OK to go straight back up to a normal calorie intake for my height and frame once I have finished dieting, or do I need to add calories incrementally?
Thank you!

With regards to maintenance, you can't go back to how you ate before or you will regain the weight. Nhs recommendations are to slowly increase your calories by 100-200 per day until your weight levels out. But please join us in our Maintainers club as this is often as difficult as losing the weight.

Jump in the deep-end of calorie counting, or tiptoe in the shallows, adopt lifestyle changes first and calorie-counting later?
