Most people eat the same calories every day on a diet, but cycling them works better: eat 100-200 fewer calories on weekdays, then add 250-500 back on weekends. The presenter lost 20 lb in 10 weeks this way and says it lets you have cheat days while still hitting your weekly deficit.
You are making this one mistake with your calorie deficit. Fixing this will help you lose weight faster while eating more food and having cheat days. Before I tell you what it is and how to fix it, just know I used this same strategy to lose 20 pounds in 10 weeks. And the biggest mistake is you need to eat more calories on specific days of the week and fewer calories the other days of the week. But what days and how much more or less? Well, if you struggle to stay on track on the weekends, on Sunday through Thursday, eat 100 to 200 less calories per day. Doing this will help you save calories so you can eat 250 to 500 more calories per day. Doing this helps you eat more food on the weekends but still hit your weekly calorie deficit.
