If you’ve been dieting for months and start to feel flat, low on energy or constantly thinking about food, taking a short break (one to two weeks at maintenance) can help reset your body and your mind. This is called a diet break.

Diet breaks aren’t magic, but it can make your fat loss phase more manageable.

Just remember that this might mean your fat loss phase will take a little longer and your goal might take more time to reach.

But if you’re not in a rush, and you’d rather suffer less and be able to stay more consistent long-term, this could be a great option.

It’s not for everyone, and definitely not a must.
Some people do perfectly fine staying in a deficit longer, others benefit from a reset.

It depends on your body, your timeline, and what you can stick to.
