Why aren't you losing weight

WHY AREN'T YOU LOSING WEIGHT:
You stick to your diet honourably all week, on weekends you allow yourself a few small meals (really?) discrepancies, but... ARE YOU NOT LOSING WEIGHT?! ????
Let's analyze things more closely. Take the example of Lucie, who would have an approximate weekly caloric expenditure of 14,000 calories.
❌ Restriction + abusive cheat-meals ❌ Lucie is heavily restricted in calories all week; she sometimes even consumes fewer calories than her body needs to function optimally (cf. basic metabolism); in addition to all that, she does sports (so energy expenditure ++)... Arriving at the weekend, she is K.O. and then, “You have to enjoy yourself, don't get frustrated, on Monday we go back to the diet the ways” and BW AM is the explosion of food (and alcohol) in all directions (cf. abusive cheat-meals). Result ➡ Lucie completely ruins the deficit she created the week, finds herself in calorie surplus and therefore does not lose weight (on the contrary). This vicious circle can potentially lead to conflicting relationships with food (cf. eating disorders).
✅ Flexible diet ✅ Lucie has an optimal calorie intake during the week, while being in a slight deficit to allow her to reach her goal; food is not a source of frustration since she can afford to eat her???? preferred, if it enters its macros (and if it respects the 80/20 rule). At the weekend, a restaurant is planned with his friends; it is difficult to count his macros (but you can estimate them!) , but, depending on what's on the menu, she does her best by perhaps saving calories here and there and why not by doing a good workout to create a bigger caloric “gap” (cf. using her cheat-meal intelligently). Result ➡ Lucie remains in a calorie deficit during her week, and therefore, she is losing weight. In addition to that, she does not feel guilty, her self-confidence remains at the top and she will hold on much more easily in the long term.
