When a diet ends, the app closes and archives it, and you set up your next phase. You won't be able to open that diet's details in the app again, so it's worth saving anything you want to keep first.
How a diet ends
- You choose End my diet in a weekly review, or from More › End my diet.
Your end date arrives. The top of the Schedule says "You crushed it! Time to wrap up or push ahead." and offers Review and extend or End diet, and about a day later the app moves you to End of diet on its own.
- You confirm a weigh-in below the app's safe limit.
What happens to your data
- The diet is archived. You can't reopen or change it.
- Its weigh-ins, weekly reviews and schedule are saved with the archive, but you can't view that diet's Progress tab or Progress history anymore.
- Your next diet still learns from it. If the last diet had about 3 weeks or more of weigh-ins and logging, and you start the next one within 8 weeks, its starting calories come from the maintenance the app measured from your own data. Otherwise it starts from an estimate, and your weekly reviews adjust it from there.
Before you end a diet
- Screenshot your Progress tab and any weeks in Progress history you want to keep.
- Finish your last weekly review if one is waiting, so your final week counts.
What to do next
- A maintenance phase is best for most individuals after fat loss/muscle gain diets
- Experienced dieters can go right from fat loss <--> muscle gain.
- Keep weighing in and logging in your new phase. The more data the app has, the faster your weekly reviews settle on the right calories.
