I have been currently eating at a pretty severe calorie deficit for me at 1400-1600 calories per day. According to IIFYM calculator my TDEE is ~3006 calories/day and BMR is ~2096. According to a lot of what I have read around the internet, eating at a severe caloric deficit for prolonged periods is not sustainable in the long run for a multitude of reasons. My concern is that when I get to my goal weight and increase my calories to maintenance amount then my weight might start to increase since my metabolism has adjusted to the severe caloric deficit or because I back slide. So with that being said, is there a safe and healthy way for me to increase my caloric intake to a safer level while still losing weight? Is it as simple as just eating at an appropriate caloric deficit right away or would I need to slowly work my way up? One site suggested eating at maintenance for 2-3 weeks for the body to readjust before going back on a deficit. I know this might be a stupid question but I have lost a good chunk of weight and don't want to slide back once I hit my goals.
