Eat, Fast, Live Longer!
Best of luck with that. I'm no nutrionist, so this is just friendly advice. I'd say try to maximize the protein and limit the carbs. Your body will burn the carbs if it has a chance, so the fewer of them you consume, the faster your body can start using up the fat. Of course, the protein is good for muscles anyway. Also, if you work out, try to stay in the 'fat burning' zone of 65 percent of your maximum heart rate. I've read that your body draws directly from fat stores for energy at that heart rate. If you go up into the aerobic zone, you'll burn more calories, but your body draws from carbohydrates primarily. My source on this is the book 'Younger Next Year.' But you can notice it on any gym machine as the fat burning zone will always be a lower setting than the aerobic zone. I wish you all the best with this! I was huge and I'm a guy so I had a lot more flexibility with how I lost the weight... as I'm getting closer to my goal, it is slowing down some and I'm having to add workouts and eat less... nice problem to have, but I'm only starting to see the issues you are facing. Good luck!

Nadine, my question is: What issue are you having? Have you hit a plateau or something? If not, and you are losing the amount you want, I don't see the benefit of going to the fasting plan. Especially if you are having a hard time consuming all the targeted calories each day anyway. Best of luck. bp

Eat, Fast, Live Longer!
Hi. I added it to my regimen, too, after I started plateauing in April. I now eat 600 calories or less every Wednesday and Thursday. By Friday morning's weigh in, I usually see good things. And then I can go over a little bit on the weekends. I've done it for a month now and it's really working for me.

Low cal day and 430 calorie workout got me down to 237.5. Hoping for a bit more by morning time. Blood sugar 110 which is 10 points higher than I want.
