Hi from Orange County, Southern California,

Tomorrow I’ll start again with this diet. I was on 5:2 diet for 6 weeks in 2016 and had good results, lost 4 Kgs. I also felt very good and my sleep improved. This time I’ll try 4:3 diet and I hope to lose more. I gave up sugar since January this year and lost only 3.5 Kgs. I was hoping to lose more so that’s why I also started to follow a very low carb diet. As far as working out, I lift weights at home 2 days/week and do yoga or Pilates at home 4-5 times/week.

My goal is to lose 16 more Kgs and to reach a BMI of a little under 25.

Good luck to all!

In the afternoon I had 300 more calories, so 1000 calories first day. Not good so I’ll consider this day a NFD. I’ll try again a FD on Monday.

I’ll try again a FD today. I’m going yo eat twice, breakfast 300 cal. and then late lunch about 400 cal.

Firm meal is going to be scrambling eggs (2 medium, free rage) with spinach, dried tomatoes and a slice of turkey bacon.

Second meal: big salad with lettuce, tomatoes, green union, olives, some seeds, olive oil and balsamic vinegar plus a turkey burger.

I’ll drink a lot of water, lemonade (homemade with stevia) and probably some herbal tea.

I’ll also keep busy especially mentally. I don’t know if I’ll work out today but I should. If I lift weights I’m not hungry anymore. So…I’ll probably do that in the afternoon for 20-30 min.

Second fast day, almost done. Doing good. I’m planing the following FD the day after tomorrow. Hope to see some results, any results will be great.

Thanks for the comment, yes, I’m not losing, just maintaining for now. Very frustrating.

I had some health problems but I’m OK now. No Kilos lost last month, actually I gained some back.

So, I’ll start again 5:2 now in July. I’ll also do 16:8.

FD – tomorrow.

I’ll write the exercise that I do every day. Today, as I said in the previous comment is NFD. I did 30 min. lifting weights (biceps, triceps, pecs, squats, crunches).

7/8/’18

I could not finish my FD on Friday. Next week I’ll fast only 2 days, on Mo and on Th. Even if I lose only 1 lb. a week I’m good. In 40 weeks I could reach my weight goal.

45 degrees C here (record!), terrible hot and humid. No workout on Fr or Sat. I’ll make an effort today to do some Pilates for stretching, maybe in the afternoon.

We – FD + Pilates 30 min. Yesterday – NFD + cardio 20 min.

Correction for Th (today), no Pilates but instead 26 min. work out with weights. Intense. Felt great, not weak, even though today was a FD for me!

Last 2 FDs were fab. I could not believe how easy this is. I got distracted, I didn’t think about food, was very busy and preoccupied.

Plus I do drink a lot of water. I feel like I’ll definitely be able to continue with this for months. Very happy about it! I can’t wait for the FDs to come (this is so unexpected!).

I’m losing at least 1 pound a week, sometimes 2.

Doing great. After 2 weeks and one more FD (this Monday, yesterday) I’ve lost 4 lbs. and I’m very happy about it!

I watched again the documentary Fast Diet and I also got the book from the library. Very interesting indeed.

Monday = FD, almost done. Easy, no problem.

Hi,

Last weekend I overeat a little and my FD this week on Mon. was more difficult. Then again I overeat on We. not much but I also had some carbs that I usually don’t eat anymore. I was not prepared properly. Anyway, I felt quite bad after that, had a migraine (and I never have them!)and gained almost 2 lbs. back.

Today, (Th.) I’m fasting and feel very good. I keep very busy and it’s going well. It’s almost 3:00 PM now and I only had a giant green smoothie at 11:00 AM. and I usually wake up at 4:00 AM. What I put in it? Tones of kale, broccoli sprouts, 1/2 peach, lemon juice, a few blueberries, wheat grass and mineral water.

I did exercise almost daily and today I’ll work out with weights, plus will train my core.

I think that this week I’ll only fast for 2 days. Next week I’m planning to do 4:3.

Anyway, I’m doing it and I love it.

All the best!

Correction for my (bad) spelling and grammar: I wanted to write “overate” in my previous comment.
…

I’m going to introduce an extra day of water or juice fasting (orange juice freshly made from organic oranges) one day a week for now and then 3 days a month (one time at the end of the month for 3 days – for cleansing). I used to do that in the past (with orange juice) and I felt great. I did it for health reasons, mental clarity and weight loss. Loved it!

Yes, I was thinking about the exact same thing, OJ = carbs and sugar. Well, then I’ll have to stick with water for now. Thanks!

(The cleansing with OJ was recommended by a Hindu Monk. The OJ contains also the pulp of the fruit).

I did a water fast for 20 h and the I ate during the remaining 4 h, about 800 ca total. This was a few days ago. I wanted to experiment. Could not do a 24 h water fast but it’s OK. I’ll try it again in the future.

196 lbs.
(10 lbs. down since July first!). 55 more lbs. to lose to get at my previous weight (that I had all may adult life and last time in 2005). At least 40 more to loose to fell/look pretty decent – would be nice.

I went to the gym yesterday and was able to lift again. Great! Also, yesterday was a FD for me so today on the scale = 195.4! I’m doing very well.
I only eat twice a day now and follow 19:5 window of eating almost daily and I’m good, never hungry.

Doing good now, last 3 weeks were a little hectic, I fluctuated in weight a lot (hormonal problems) but now I’m again 197 lbs. I never stopped fasting, only one week I did 6:1 diet. Anyway, yesterday I fasted. On Friday, this week I’ll fast again. Got used to it, I find it quite easy now most of the time.

I just have to be patient without becoming annoyed, that’s all. I’m only losing about 1-1.5 lbs. a week. Something like that. It’s OK.

I also started to do IF 18:6 every single day.

192 lbs.

I gained a little (3 lbs oops!) because I had a very stressful period the last 3-4 weeks. Anyway, I’m back now.

I’ll fast again tomorrow, Sat. I decided not to extend my water fast for more than 24 h. For now. 3 days a week water fast for 24 h. is very good. I’ll do my best every week. I’ll lift again tomorrow, hopefully I’ll be able to do it.

I tried to fast today but I changed my plans so I’ll do it tomorrow instead. It’s going to be a very busy day for me tomorrow so probably I’ll do just fine without eating.
