How can employing a phased approach to fat loss, with alternating periods of deficit and maintenance, improve long-term success?

Employing a phased approach to fat loss, with alternating periods of deficit and maintenance, improves long-term success by preventing metabolic slowdown and sustaining progress. This approach involves alternating between phases of caloric deficit to lose fat and maintenance phases to stabilize metabolism. Phased dieting helps manage hunger, prevent plateaus, and support sustainable fat loss over time.
