Now I have my head around the fact I dont need as many calories that even the various diet clubs etc say I need and the fasting, well its job done. Very pleased :0) Jasmine Hiya

I have over run a few times and I'm wondering if thats why my loss has been stalled.

Your blog, (mostly) and a few other sites have inspired me to start counting my calories, walking 5 to 6 days a week, and start some IFing. I'm 34, 5' 1", and was 175. I finally bought a scale and when I saw 175, after I vomitted in my mouth, I decided thats enough I have to do something. Nothing has ever really worked for me, I have just gradually gained like I'm sure most people do as they age. When I was working out hard core last year all I did was gain weight, I'm guessing because I was consuming more calories. I will say I was extremely shocked once I started counting calories, no wonder I am fat hee hee, I don't even want to guess what I was consuming before this, so that alone is something I will always have to pay attention too from now on. I've been on this new path for about 3 weeks now and immediately I lost 10 pounds right away about 6 to 7 days into this, I am guessing this was all water weight and I have read many reports of people experiencing this. Ever since the first week though I have not budged, not even a smidge since. So I am feeling a little bummed, I was expecting even a half pound lighter at this point so I need some inspiration to keep me pumped. I know I enjoy the convenience of IFing at work and always being able to have dinner with my boyfriend. Although the first few times were really tough, I do feel a little better, lighter and Im glad I haven't gained any weight, (even despite going over my calories a few times), so all good things, but I know it was just water weight and not anything really significant just yet. I am wondering did you routinely loose 1 to 2 pounds a week, or did you go at a certain weight for a few weeks and drop 3 to 5 out of the blue? I need some positive words, I don't need any cortisol working against me too! ;) Also I'm very nervous about a long weekend group vacation at a cabin coming up with our friends, it will be hard to IF being around people 24/7 any advice? Thanks again for your blog and candid talk. :) Hi Dave,

Many bodybuilders use I.F. now. Many body builders mistakenly think that if they don't eat every few hours that they lose muscle, but there is no scientific evidence showing that short periods of fasting have any negative effects on muscle growth, actually when the body is in the fasted state, it releases more HGH ( Human Growth Hormone ) so if anything, the potential for muscle increase is higher. Though I am not doing bodybuilding, what I can tell you is I have had no muscle loss in 20 months of using Intermittent Fasting, and I only do body weight exercises. Hope that helps You would not lose muscle using this approach. Many bodybuilders use I.F. now.
