Help me organize my JUDDD thoughts

[oneoftwo]

Coming off HCG and trying to organize my thoughts so when I start I am ready to go. Thanks for any feedback

I am looking to maintain and like to stay between 118-120 lbs max
Curretnly I am 120lbs 5'4" and run usually 3x a week
I was thinking 1800 for UD and 800 for DD, thoughts??

I was trying to plan out my UD/DD schedule but unsure how to plan for various reasons. This is what I was thinking BUT having two DD in a row could not be good, correct? Also I usually always run on Tue,Fri and Sun so I thought it would be best to have UD on those days, no?

Mon- MD
Tue- UD (run)
Wed-DD
Thur- DD
Fri-UD (run)
Sat- DD
Sun -UD (run)

I was always told no 2 dds in a row.

You could turn Thurs. into another md
if you want.

Or have a look at the MUDDD(?) threads - where they have the day starting somewhere between 5 and 7 - that way, you should always get to eat on a day you run??

The reason they tell you not to do two DDs in a row is because one of the biggest "magical" elements of JUDDD is to keep our metabolisms "guessing." That's why we eat lots one day and almost nothing the next. If you do two DDs in a row, your body will go into "starvation" mode, which puts a screeching halt to a good metabolism. I'm sure there are people on this thread who are more educated than I on the subject, so hopefully, they will be able to tell you much more than I. Also, here is an old thread discussing what to do in maintenance:
Playing Around With The Calories
hope this helps!

I just completed my 2nd week of doing JUDDD and I also run 3 to 4 times a week. So far I have been running on my down days and having no problems whatsoever (before JUDDD I used to just drink a cup of coffee before I ran anyway, so it's not that big of a deal for me). Typically the running also suppresses my hunger so I end up just eating dinner with my family and keeping it in the 600-700 range. This has been working for me so far, hope the info helps

Don't know how far you run, but I love exercising on my DDs, when I know I have great nutrients in my body.

For best results, I believe it's best to do the first two weeks as written. Meaning, do a straight UD/DD rotation for two weeks...no MD's.

I used MDs after the first two weeks, because I thought I needed to have the same days as DDs every week. I have since stopped this practice in favor of a straight rotation for two reasons: 1) By using a MD every week, I was shorting myself 2+ magical DDs each month. And 2) There is no magical day that is better or worse to have for a DD. It's just as easy to do a DD at work as it is to do one at home...DDs are do-able even if I find myself eating out. The only time I will insert a MD is if I need to change my rotation for something special. For example, had Christmas Eve been going to land on a DD, I would've done a MD somewhere so I could enjoy our big x-mas eve party that day.

I think if you find the right UD/DD numbers to maintain your weight, you should just let the days fall as they may as much as possible. You may find, as others have posted, that excercising on a DD is no big deal (especially if your DDs are 800 calories---a luxurious DD number to me, since I'm still in weight-loss mode. Lol!)

Best of luck and !!!

Thanks everyone for the feedback, I may just start a usual UD/DD rotation and just see how I feel, even with running on my DD's.

I find it really easy to workout on DDs. Especially cardio because it also suppresses my appetite. I used to run but now with the weather I do kickboxing dvds. I do my weights on UDs to make die I get plenty of protein and weightlifting makes me hungry.
