Anybody has experience with intermittent fasting? How did it go?

What is IF and how do we do it? What is the expected result if it is working?

It's something like Eat a Light Meal and then wait another 8 or 16 hours and eat another Meal again.

Expected Result: Weight Loss

Why does it work: Eat Less, means Less Calories, means Calories Deficit, means People know the drill. People lose weight because you eat less.

Had been reading a few articles for weight loss which some of them says keep your daily diet below 50g carbs and 20g fat to see results.


I am 167cm and weight 58-60kg. I gave a range because it always varies when i feel full or having constipation problem. (It gets better after i eat sunskit and jog regularly, just started for one week.)

When i tried to key in default goals in myfitnesspal apps, which i plan to is to key in 50g carbs (15%) 20g fats (15%) and... for protein i need 48g only according to my weight, but the apps wont let me set up my own ratio unless i reach 100%. Does this mean this ratio isnt recommended or it is unhealthy? And if i take too much protein like above 48g, what will happen in my body?

Trying to jog every evening every day, stamina isnt good, cant continously jog for 1km. A student and i am in my holiday, quite sedentary in the morning/afternoon.

Had been inspired by many abs holder in instagram for many days, determined to cut belly fat, had been successfully avoid rice and bread for 2 days.

What i am having recently is

Breakfast (around 7am): one teaspoon of nescafe+one teaspoon of sugar+one teaspoon of coffeemate, and two hard boiled eggs

Around 10:30am: Ate a sunskit

Lunch around 1pm : Broccoli, or other veggie

Around 4pm One hour before jogging+walking: 50g avocado + few cashew nuts

Around 7pm One hour after come back from jogging+walking: one scoop protein shake

🤔🤔🤔 didnt track the percentage of the macros i ate but will start doing today.

Am i doing things right? O.o Can control myself quite well if you guys have better suggestion please guide me thank you!!!

Crash n burn with this kind of diet. 50g of carbs makes u feel like crap, 20g of fat makes u less of a man.

What exactly is your goal though? I didn't see anything about going to Gym so I don't think building muscles are the goal for you.

As for cutting belly fat, NO Diet, or Workout that will specifically target where you will be LOSING the Fats, the only thing you can target is where you want to GAIN the Muscles.

If your goal is to lose more weights, please for the love of whatever upper beings you are worshiping, don't go read up all those complicated websites that tells you about "50Gs of Carbs, (Weight * 2) G of Proteins, 20Gs of Fats.".
It is too complicated for us, that is why people invented the SIMPLEST AND EASIEST way for us to lose weight, "Calories In, Calories Out".

Just count your CALORIES instead if you want to Lose Weight.

And for the part on the Jogging, just keep doing it and eventually you can Jog 1Km without stopping, or maybe 10Km or even more.

Lastly, remember this, if you wanted to Lose Weight, it is supposed to be a LIFESTYLE CHANGE, but not a Temporary Solution.

Okay. Building muscles is about doing various exercise tht make u feel sore?

U wot m8? The question is have u even tried the diet? Have u even been consistent with your diet? If not then stop saying as if you have tried before.

Right now im on 40g of carbs and im still hitting new pr.

What makes u think I have not? I tried, hence the reply. How abt u? What gives u the right to jump on ppl blindly? That fella is talking abt low carb n low fat u douchebag. U on the other hand is on low carb, hence definitely on high fat. So where is the similarity here? Unless u r saying u r hitting pr's on low carb n low fat, then I'm interested. If not, f off.

That's cool. Do u mind share me ur diet plan? Feels excited to hear more from u.

Whoaaaaa we gt some badass over hereee. Of course it does not works for someone that fat slob like u. Ur fat and ur body craves carb and eat over and over again lmao.

Did u even read bruh? Im saying low carb not low fat lmao someone's really mad. I couldn't care less about someone fat slob like u 😄

Hmms... Is the meal sufficient for you? Do you feel hungry? I got a feeling that you are eating too little protein, considering that you did slow cardio everyday.
General rule of thumb is to eat protein around 1g/kg of your weight, and eat carbs of the size of your fist, and lots of vegetables. Carbs choose good carbs, like brown rice or sweet potato.
You eat nuts and avocado, which is good fat. That's nice.
Try to drink black coffee (I know it taste bad but it's good as a pre-workout to help u run/workout better) instead of nescafe with sugar and cream.

Abs are made in the kitchen, and to have abs shown, you need low fat percentage ~18% and a lot of muscles.
Continue with your jogging/running to lose fat% but eat more protein so you preserve your muscles %.

Keep it up! Hope to see your changes in a year.

Flexible diet. Be happier.

Hi guys, here are my exercise plan, please give some comment.
Planning to lose around 16kg in 5 month.

Here are my plan.

HIIT x4 round (30 sec work 10 sec rest x6)
-Push up plank
-Jumping jack
-Mountain climber
-Cycling crunch
-High knees
-Toe to toe shuffle

Dumbell lifting 4 x 12 reps 4-5 set.

Jogging 600m x 4 in total of 2.4km.

thats an extremely short HIIT session...and unless ur extremely fit...i dont see how u are going to maintain a high enough intensity for 30secs with only 10secs rest in between.
do something more maneagable, say 20secs high, 40secs rest for 15mins.

same with jogging...completion time matters...so 2.4km since beginner perhaps aim for 20mins.

dont bother with everything else as it doesnt burn much.

and as has been mentioned countless of times...calories in vs out.

I would start on some jogging or some low intensity cardio to build up stamina n get yr body used to moving. Then add on HIIT later on.

MyFitnessPal is your best friend. It has by far the largest database to check food like char kuey teow, wan tan mee. Not just your standard burger and fries.

It has a big data base, but it is only good for generic food. Say McD, some standard food with SOP preparation method you can use. In Malaysia, Nasi Lemak Pondan might have different portion size from Nasi Lemak Dara from the data base in MyFitnessPal.

What I do is I dissect ingredients, google calories, add them up. Works better for me that way.

Want to ask. Bro science or true?

Controlling insulin by low carb can make body adapt to fat metabolism?

Keto is the best diet for fat loss around belly?

Intermittent fasting really burns fat?

Low carbs might make body adapt to keto. Thats what I know. But I know it wont work for me because I am in constant bad mood now and carbs soothes me.

Keto doesn't target belly fats.

IF is a tool. You still need calorie in < calorie out.
