Do you think this approach - of losing weight and then gaining it back can work for a female? You are extremely methodical in your approach, I admire you !

Potentially... The two biggest keys to the approach are: First, making sure you don't over-do it. While cutting you still need to make certain nutritional minimums. Juicing won't cut it. I don't care if you're taking several vitamins WHILE juicing... It just does not work. As soon as you stop juicing your body will go NUTS. For losing a ton of weight super fast it's OK, but you'll need to go on a more balanced cutting program shortly before you hit your goal or... Second, making sure once you start putting it back on you have your hormones perfectly balanced and in sync and keep them that way ALL THE TIME.

Another pretty important detail is when you start eating more again, slowly increase your calories from your deficit, don't just suddenly gorge yourself just because you shed all that weight.

Your body SHOULD tell you how much increase is the right increase, if you pay attention. Pay attention!

A good rule though is 1/6th to 1/3rd your current caloric intake == increase per every couple weeks until you reach your ideal intake again. Then add no more than 1/8th to 1/4th OVER the ideal for building up.

So if your ideal intake is, say, 1600 calories, your building intake should be no more than 1800 to 2000 calories.

Also! Putting weight on doesn't necessarily give you a license to eat junk! Make sure you're eating the right foods!

Your body type AND lifestyle MAY permit you more carbs than others, but for the most part you really do want to keep carbs a LOT lower than most nutritionists these days presently recommend. And avoid sugars altogether when at all possible. No ADDED TABLE SUGAR! EVER! If you need additional sweetener, learn to use stevia.

In my opinion... The hard part for you will be keeping your hormones in check. Since you produce most of yours naturally and aren't feeding yourself basically all of them, yours will be harder to control. They're going to want to do whatever they've been programmed to do. And there's a lot of natural variation there and they aren't necessarily "ideal".
