I've tried IF for about two weeks now, and lost around 5 lbs. Mind you, this makes it about 15 pounds total since I really committed to getting back in shape in January.

Last week I also downloaded myfitnesspal to really keep better track of my calories. My first observation is that even though I've cut out most sugar and starchy foods, I'm still consuming more carbs than I realized. Additionally, even when I thought I was eating a good amount of protein, I'm only around the RDA of 0.5 g/lb of body weight.

In the gym, my first week or so of fasted workouts were great and unaffected. Today I just felt off and tanked on most of my working weight sets. However, I think this may be more a result of poor sleep last night.

Try upping your water consumption and adding a little salt to it. I have been feeling great even on my lower calorie diet since doing that. I have to add a splenda pack for every salt pack I use though.
