Apparently "it depends":
> Perhaps providing more
frequent diet breaks for athletes as they
become leaner could improve fat loss
efficiency, lean body mass retention,
and mitigate fat loss plateaus. For
example, beginning the initial phases
of contest prep using a 4:1 ratio of diet:
diet break, then moving to 3:1, then
2:1, and finally 1:1 may be more opti-
mal than simply using a set ratio for the
entire duration of the preparation;
however, we can only speculate.
