1) intermittent habit-building allows rest periods.

What that is doing mathematically is NOT so simple! There is an optimum speed in the equation that the Rushing will trigger Famine Mode.

Excess weight did not get there in a day, and it won't go away in a day either.

to tug down the weight naturally (no plateaus). Your procedure approximates the flat green line shown and the math looks after getting to goal.



To the right, ramps in the blue line simulate habit-changes. After the green line dipped below 180Lb, relaxing habits sent it above 190Lb (red). However, before April, the user managed to keep the signal mostly green:
   

During April and early May there was a concerted push, which sent things into possible When the body gets frightened and stops shedding.

. The app is very sensitive and alerts one very early to trouble ahead. Let's try again:
In the second plot, the ramp in the blue line went sideways in April instead of rising when the projection went below 180 lb:
   

This simulates relaxing one's habits to neither gain or lose (take a break). The app overshoots down and then up through the green band, and the signal will go red:
  
In the simulation, a drop of 3/4Lb/wk then starts. Again there was an overshoot, to which the user responded a bit less aggressively, and the projection turned back down 10Lb later and eventually went green:
    This keeps repeating and the green line wobbles back and forth through the middle (green) band as the user's habits start new ramps in the blue line.

The third plot to the right shows the result of going back into the data for the first plot and re-doing the habit-changes to The user's diary triggered this!

proactively
keep the green line in the target band.

Seeing
the warning signal and overshoot still allows a good life-style as long as you respond to it. This is similar to a thermostat controlling a furnace, with the initial result moving steadily downward rather than fluctuating near a The projection does stay fixed to encourage you.
