It's a "ghetto" way of keeping track of your metabolism and lets you know how efficient your thyroid is working. If your metabolism starts to slow...look at extra calories as throwing logs on the fire.

Once it got below a certain point, I would increase calories daily until I seen my temp go back up. Sometimes it would only take a few days....sometimes just one day of eating above your requirements is enough to get things going again.

That's where the concept of cheat meals come in....but I prefer to call them "re-feeds" as I'm adding calories, but it's just more of the food I'm already eating. So I'm not cheating as it's healthy food.

Also on a side note, I notice the leaner I get...the more re-feeds I have to incorporate to keep progress going. Once I'm below 9%, I can almost do a re-feed every 3 days without impeding process.
That is a super interesting method but makes total sense , I suppose I could start checking my temp each morning as well and keep track of that too !
