So I’ve been doing this ‘diet’ since September 1st now. Now i’ll be the first to say the results aren’t shocking, but they’re good. i started at 138, which is a lot for my 5’3 frame and now i’m down to 128..10 pounds! this may seem like nothing to most, but i’ve never successfully lost weight before and if i did i gained it back right away. i may not have lost weight every week, but i also never gained it back. at this point i’m going to keep continuing the ‘diet’ indefinitely, but i’m not sure if i’ll lose any more weight, i’d be happy just to maintain this now. ideally i’d be 125 or 120 in another 3 months, but those 5-10 pounds are the hardest to lose, and i haven’t been 120 since high school and my body’s changed a lot since then so i think that might be pushing it. what i have to say is stick with it..it’s worth it!! it gets SO MUCH EASIER! after the first month i barely even realized the fasting days. also, i probably could have lost more weight if i followed it exactly, but the last month i haven’t been limiting to 500 cals on fast days bc of the nature of my work..i’m a nurse and always on my feet and need to have energy so i’ll eat these ‘thinkthin’ bars which have 230 cals and 20grams of protein that keep me AMAZINGLY full…best food for fast days!! but instead of getting packaged burrito thats 270 cals or something i make a small dinner for myself on fast days and try to keep it under what i think is 400cals so i probably eat around 600cals on fast days this past month..so it’s not exact..but the fact that i haven’t been overly strict with calories is what allowed me to stick with this diet longer than any other diet before..3 months doesn’t feel like a ‘diet’ anymore..it really is a lifestyle change!! good luck to everyone!
