How very frustrating for you, Claudine3. It is in line with my early experience of ADF when I had a similar cycle commute but used to see negligible progress.
However, that has been the pattern for my entire weight loss journey, tho’ I’ve now been in maintenance for some time, having shed 60lbs. I would plateau for up to 16 weeks at a time, have 5-10 days in which I would see a scale drop every day, and then stabilise on another plateau. Rinse and repeat.
My one, substantial caveat, is that one of the reasons underpinning my slow progress was retrospectively apparent when I had a Dxa scan and learned that I’m sarcopenic – so the TDEE calculations were substantially out as I have less muscle mass than other women of a comparable size, age and activity level.
You might like to look through the dedicated thread where lots of the questions that relative newcomers have are answered and there are pointers to articles such as ‘why am I not losing’: https://thefastdiet.co.uk/forums/topic/the-basics-for-newbies-your-questions-answered/
Do you have a month of food logs with MFP or similar to track your food intake? Are there any items that you might swap out with others?
Good Luck integrating fasting into your WOL! I’ll look out for your progress in the future and trust that you’ll move towards your health goals. Best wishes.
In that case, hang in there for another couple of weeks and hopefully the weight will start to come off.
There are quite a few people on this website who are combining 5:2 with low carb low sugar and say that it makes a difference to the rate of weight loss. Maybe you should look at eating an egg for breakfast and cut out the sandwiches.

As you log your food, I would wonder, over the course of a day, what is your carb/protein intake – either in grammes or as a percentage of your overall kcal intake? And if it might be worth swapping some of your carb intake for other sources.
Your experience does read similarly to mine tho’ I understand that that may not seem like helpful information while you’re frustrated.
It’s a familiar story: You pledge to honor a daily elliptical routine and count every last calorie. But soon, you’re eating cupcakes at the office and grabbing happy hour mojitos, thinking, Oops, diet over.
There is a better way: Swap the all-or-nothing approach for one or two healthy switch-ups in your daily routine. “Doing this can lead to more weight loss than you ever imagined,” says Dr.Atkins and his diet
Best wishes C3
you may consider that sometimes health food isn’t weight loss food on your feed days.
Here’s a a link I quickly searched up on weight loss food.

Hey, long time lurker of these forums. Particularly this sub-forum, I just dropped by to ask if you tried any weight loss programs? I have on in mind that can help you, which personally helped me. I found it from another blog and I’m so freaking glad I found it because within 2-3 weeks I started noticing some good weight loss. Check it out yourself
