If your calories are 2000/400, going to 1500/500 seems a rather drastic cut on your UDs. As Carly & Kissa mention, cutting UD calories too much can either have little effect or even slow your metabolism. Have you tried 1900/500?

If you do go ahead with 1500/500, I think Carly's idea of eating up to your UD calories once a week is a very good idea.

Good luck!!!

Sweetthang, I came to JUDDD with all manner of prejudices and preconceived ideas but I truly believe it has worked for me because I did exactly what was recommended and put my maverick tendencies to one side for a few weeks.
I strongly recommend taking the advice of people like Cindy, Nancy, Carly and Dawn.

I don't take resveratol bc I read it can have interaction with birth control and I am not about to mess with that. So from what you all are saying I should cut DD before UD? Maybe 1900/300??

Yes, if you can manage it, but if you need a bit more on you DDs don't beat yourself up. I believe in keeping those UDs as high as you can, can't remember what your numbers are, sorry.
