27M. I have lost 5 BMI points, down to 30 from 35, in 5-6 months. I did simple CICO and resistance training (PPL split).

I am a bit exhausted of the caloric deficit now and want a break. I have felt like this before and taken a maintenance phase of 1 week and then continued cutting. Now that I am no longer obese, I feel less inclined to continue.

Should I recompose at my current weight or should I continue cutting? Ultimately I do want to get to at least 28 BMI or lower.

Any help and advice is greatly appreciated.

    What I would do in that situation, personally, is take a couple of weeks or so to eat at maintenance and then get back to cutting. If a week isn’t enough, maybe make it a month.

      This was suggested by two more people. It has worked before. I will consider it. Thanks!
