Hello all, I’m a 64 YO man, 5’10” 183 lbs in pretty good physical shape with great vitals and blood chemistry. I work out regularly (free weights and HIT on a spin bike) and eat a healthy diet. I also dance ballroom and Latin 2-3 days a week. I’ve been interested in intermittent fasting for some time for the potential health and life extension benefits. I’d also like to trim ~13 lbs of fat without losing any muscle. I’m planning on doing the 500 cal fasting on my off days from exercise so it will be 5 days of fasting in a two week cycle. Tomorrow will be my first fast day.

I didn’t know we conversed on a gender basis? LOL Thanks for the welcome and support. I’m kind of looking forward to tomorrow. I need some structure around eating now.
