I find it best to just take a break for a while if you get burned out. I did that at xmass and my week long break became a three month break
but it helped recharge me. Plus I only gained about 4lbs over that 3 months of crappy eating, and now I'm back lower then when I went off so win win.
I've also found that women seem to have a much harder time sticking to it for whatever reason. My wife did great one it once but hated it, and couldn't stand it when she tried it again a few years later. Now shes just doing a low cal diet and is doing fine.
