what should I do?

[accismus]

I would like some opinions. I am starting SOS in Sept. That means I will have to eat at maintenance for two weeks prior, (last two weeks of August.) What should I do for the next two weeks?

Should I do some sort of diet for the next two weeks, or just eat at maintenance for the whole month of August?

If I diet, should I do some sort of carb cycling, or should I just stick to a moderate deficit and do 1650 across the board? (maintenace is about 1900)

Is it possible to see some sort of result from only two weeks of dieting?

What is SOS?

SOS is Cathy Savage's online training program. Personalized workouts and diet. http://www.cathysavagefitness.com/

I see no point in dieting for two weeks. If it was me, I'd stay on maintenance for the month of August.

Is there a thread that explains the best way to figure macros for maintenance?

EDIT: found it!

I agree, stick with maintenance intake for now prior to diet phase. Glad you found the macro suggestions. Post up any furthur questions or critiques.
