It comes down to calories in vs calories out. Are you keeping track of what you eat on your non-fasting days, and do you know how many calories you should eat to lose weight?

I keep track of calories burned while exercising, and I try to limit my daily calorie intake to around 1800 on non-fasting days. With fairly strenuous exercise five days a week I have been losing 2lbs a week for the past eight weeks.

I could probably do better if I ate healthier foods, but I’m not quite that motivated. I’m not a foodie and I detest cooking. I love to bake, but I don’t, because that’s a road to fatness for me 🙂

My tip would be careful and accurate calorie counting and tracking. It is amazing how quickly 1500kcal can vanish in the day! I lose at an average of 2lb per week and have done with a few one week blips (that I was expecting as they coincided with holidays and no tracking). I weigh my food, plan my meals in advance and track pretty religiously. I did my weekly weigh in today and have lost this weeks 2lb – that is a total of 20lb so far.
