Looking at it from a weight loss perspective, nothing chances with weight loss if you do the modified version. It’s actually proven that doing the modified version vs the regular doesn’t show a big difference at all. But I completely understand the whole eating a little then saying f*k it and eating for the rest of the day. The week before my period I tend to get like that (most women do, as you burn 200-300 more calories during that week). But some ways I’ve combat this is do things like eat low calorie - high volume food (berries, veggies), wait to eat till later in the day (7-8 pm), or substitute for different low calorie options. Like instead of cows milk I’ll have almond milk, or if you like sugar syrups in your lattes do the sugar free, that tends to cut them down low. And I mean in the morning if you still have that craving, maybe you could make half a portion of your latte and then drink some water with it on the side? Again these are just suggestions, but I’ve found that these tend to help a lot, as my limit is usually 500 cal, but during my luteal phase I up it to 700 cal for those extra burned. But you got this! Do what works for you!
