Actually, I’m not sure that is true.
Maintaining isn’t easy either, because maintaining has no end goal.Staying at a new steady level of weight involves a different level of food intake to that which got you to the higher weight in the first place, so you can’t go back to what you’ve already done.
I lose weight pretty easily, gain weight pretty easily, but find a weight difficult to maintain.
As a counter-point, my mum has been slim and pretty much exactly the same weight all her adult life. She instinctively eats less after big meals, and eats more when she’s been more active.
Having said that she’s not particularly sporty or active, and it’s harder to modulate your weight as a cyclist, as the amount of nutrition you need for long rides for example might be double or triple what you’d need on a sedentary day.
My plan after the bulk of the weight is off and I’m at my goal weight of 68kg, is to do bulk, cut, bulk, cut and stay within a range of 67-69kg.
Extending the duration a bit longer to get the habits to stick better.If I see a 69kg, then eat cleaner and lower calorie for the following week

Feel like that’s kinda the point of this thread. Also i think of it like this - maintaining is so much easy than losing it all!
