Each to their own, but hope that helps OP.
p.s. sounds like you did well at VOS, congrats!
I have that book, bought it when it first came out...but have forgotten about it. I should re-read it.
I do remember how it discussed fluctuating weight throughout the year. So with a little calculation, knowing that I'm 215 with 18% body fat, if I can trim to 10% while without losing muscle, I'd still be 198.
