re: My experience with intermittent fasting

Activity level was walking 2 miles a day, and weekly yard work. The walking has dropped off since all the rain lately. IF is not strictly about calorie reduction. Calorie restriction and Activity level are an effective means of weight loss, but to say that they are the only mechanism behind the effectiveness of IF is simplistic and naive. There's too much information on the topic out there that suggests otherwise.

Folks! I’ve gone from 183.0 to 178.8 in five days!
I did suffer on Wednesday night though since my last meal was at 3:30 pm.
But yesterday, I made it until noon without eating.
Normalcy returned when I ate from noon until 6:00.

I did some intermittent fasting after reading Eat Stop Eat a few years ago. Started doing OMAD on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Went from 184 to 168 very quickly.
Also did OMAD for the whole month of January 3 or 4 years ago and that was awesome. Sucked for like 3 days. But then it was great. Life changing in having your mindset not revolve around meals. I just went to work, did some reading for lunch, then ate whatever my wife cooked for dinner. Was liberating.

Started doing OMAD for 4-5 days a week after doing a 16:8 for roughly a year and a half (Pretty strict, maybe broke it twice in that span). Truthfully, it's more like a 22:2 than OMAD. Got home last night and had a handful of almonds and about 4-6oz of leftover New York Strip. Went out and ran 3 miles, came back in and ate dinner. Not really difficult after doing 16:8 for so long, just gotta grind out that 1-4pm window. If I'm busy doing something I don't feel any sort of impact.
16:8 got me to the point of looking trim and fit, but it wasn't getting me the visible abs. I'm gearing up to try my first 48hr fast. Any opinions on drinking zero calorie Gatorade during a fast? I was offered one while helping out with a charity (outdoors labor) over the weekend. After being on only water for years now the boost I got was incredible. Ending up downing another bottle and had a great run a couple hours later.

I don’t disagree.
I would never imply that its magnitude of effectiveness is equal to 20 lbs though.

Not implying, I’m out right saying it. Now if you want to call me a liar then do so. It still doesn’t change that those are the facts.

My opinion is that this

is more important than dogmatic adherence to whether certain beverages do or don't technically break a fast.
Eta in my opinion it doesn't break a fast

Dr. Fung says that any artificial flavors will break a fast and I concur.

I’m sorry, I just want to understand your premise.
Are you saying that equating for calories and energy expenditure that the hormonal or other physiological benefits of IF has independently accounted for 20 lbs of fat loss?
I do not think that is possible, if so. I believe that there is some order of magnitude associated but to be the sole reason for all of your weight loss while keeping your calories the same as your energy expenditure just doesn’t jive.
Elaborate for me.

Don't care what you think. I'm not elaborating on anything. The information on
quote:are well documented independently of calorie intake or increase in activity. Energy expenditure can be increased through fasting itself because of the resulting hormonal and physiological benefits. You can spend your own time and effort searching for it.

I know that’s true lol. I’m saying at what “Magnitude” can it. Helping you burn another several lbs over the course of a couple months through these benefits is one thing. Stating that 20 lbs of fat loss is solely due to the physiological benefits of intermittent fasting without there being any difference between caloric intake and energy expenditure isn’t a truthful statement.

I’ve been trying this for about 2 weeks, I’m finding myself starting to eat very large portions for supper. Is this normal? It’s way more than I would typically even be able to eat. Am I just shooting myself in the foot? Like last night I had 5 grilled salmon steaks and grilled veggies, was hungry two hours later but obviously didn’t eat. Wondering if I won’t see any results doing this. I am either exercising or busy outside almost everyday btw

I’ve been doing intermittent fasting for years (ie—skipping breakfast and not snacking late). I used to workout at lunch or after work but over the past few months I switched to morning workouts before work. I’ve neglected cardio besides a jog or two every week. Are there any issues with doing a tabata on a rower or air cycle after my workout? I generally try to only lift fasted and save cardio for when I’ve eaten, but four minutes of hard work shouldn’t be a huge issue, right?

Personally, I find that working out and exercising during a fast to be a non-issue.
Anecdotal of course, but, my athletic performance was better while in a fasted state than fed. I felt a step faster and reacted quicker when fasting on days that I had rugby practice. I also believe that fasting plus cardio/practice really helped jump start weight loss and I dropped from 275 to 255 in a short time.
My fasting schedule got ruined by Covid and I put most of the weight back on from being home all day and snacking. Started back on an IF schedule combined with dirty keto a few weeks ago and I can already feel an effect.

I'm 6'0, 165 lbs (32 y/o) and was about 210 in early July 2018. I probably had dropped all that weight by December 2018 at the latest. Then I got in trouble with the law and didn't drink for two months, got habits under control and have maintained. I don't workout at all... I should though.
