Over the past 12 days, it's been a bit of a roller-coaster ride going from from 193.5 and after a 5 days fast to 184, then after the fast even with exercise and eating right going back up to 190 lbs. Now even with a lot of healthy eating and reducing my calories with walking 10,000-15,000 steps in the mountains and biking the weight is coming off slowly, but I am now at 187.9 lbs, which means a loss of 5.5 lbs in about 2 weeks. Not bad but for all the effort I thought it would be more. It goes to show you that a balanced approach is better than an extreme one. I did the fast as I was too addicted to sweets and I could see that the weight was quickly going up and up. I would have been 200 lbs + by now if I hadn't. So, it was a good motivating force and got me to be introspective, but it is not the best tool for weight loss. That being said, I feel that IF (intermittent fasting) is a completely different story from a 24 hour fast. My goal now is to get to 179 lbs and hopefully I can loss a healthy 1-2 lbs a week with keeping my calories below 2,000 and moderate exercise.
