I have also heard that it is 1 cup, twice per week, but I don't make myself crazy over measuring or anything. Some weeks, I have more, some less. It has been my school of thought to listen to my body, and to try not to be too dogmatic or overly consistent. I truly believe that the changes in how you do things week to week can help spike your metabolism and encourage weight loss. I regularly have weeks where I eat less than I am supposed to, and weeks where I eat more, and over 20 weeks, my losses have stayed consistent. For me, learning to listen to my body, and to trust what it says, even if it isn't exactly what protocol dictates (while remaining OP) has been the most rewarding part of this journey, and I know that learning and trusting in this lesson it will ensure I keep the weight off as I move forward!
