Question.

How do we keep track of calorie intake? Example : 3 eggs omelette + 3 slices (Green Gardenia Bread) + bit of vege soup

Cause doing I. F and practicing 23+1. My base (Liquid Meal consists of 540kcal) + food intake from 1k to 1.2k (Need help on how to calculate). During 23 will only go for plain water, dark coffee (No sugar), green tea (No sugar) and tea (No sugar).

Refer to my signature. I'm using this calorie counter mobile apps premium plan that comes with pretty comprehensive Malaysian food database which is maintained by the company. If i recall correctly, you can use the basic features tracking carb, protein, fat and fiber of food intakes for free. However, if you want to check the micro nutrients (like how much zinc, magnesium, cholesterol etc) of your food intake, you have to subscribe to a plan costing i think USD/MYR 12 a year (cant recall correctly). Before using this apps, i was using MyFitness Pal but the food database quality varies a lot and many duplicate entries for same food.

Just install the apps from the link in my signature and if you have any question on the apps, do ping me.

Anybody on Intermittent fasting (47:1) mode? So far it really works for me. 3 months plus from 84kg dropped to 69kg without any single exercise. My target now is 58kg. Today my first day on I.F (47:1)

Wow good for you. Im doing IF(16:8), atkins, GM n will go back to atkins after this. Lost 8kg in 44days. Aim to lose more this month😆
*
Done with 47:1 without any issue last week. This week starting Friday will go for 71:1 (Final stage for me) don't dare to go beyond tongue.gif .

Bro for double effect only drink water (2 to 2.5 liters max) daily during fasting window. Try go for 23.5+0.5. Avoid black coffee and tea or green tea during fasting. U'll be amazed with the result hehe (Speaking from experience). Also put a stop to all color drinks nonsense especially tea tarik (This is the killer)

Lucky you. Will try next month. As for now, I go to the gym so I think I will collapse if doing IF 47:1🥴

Definitely will try IF once I lost some weight.
*
If i were you, will focus on building my solid base (IF) first. It will affect almost 85% rather than go to the gym or exercise. Start building up solid foundation first. After that take a long walk around your housing area. Lastly baru gym (Which only takes effect about less than 15%).

Sounds fair. Will try IF(20:4)&(23:1) next week and see if I can push my limit more. Im hitting gym coz I went plateau last two weeks and need to incorporated weight lifting to increase my muscle mass😤

Also during eating window avoid all sugary foods (Big no no to all fast foods including Subway, Obrien and all sandwich fast foods). Diy your own food. Also no process food. Yup it's hard and mafan. If u want instant result here's your menu cry.gif

See you guys talk about IF really motivates me to pick it up again. Started with 16:8, today Day 3. Body still trying to adapt, getting hunger pangs on and off.

My style... eating window:
- Lunch - i'll eat what i want tongue.gif
- Dinner - healthy food (vege and protein, with minimal to no carbs)

Wish to make it more sustainable so i'll leave lunch as having a main meal consisting of what i'd like from the food court (average meal, not over eating).

Only doing 2x workout in a week these days due to busy work schedule.

IF is a new lifestyle. You will benefit it in all angles. Best part it's free tongue.gif

Indeed. And $ saved from breakfast gives leeway to pay for a better dinner devil.gif the only thing is managing without food in the morning. Will adjust in time, but till then, maybe consider black coffee.

What you can do for now (Baby steps) try totally cut all colour drinks and only focus on plain water. Try this for 1 month. Then you can start to plan on food matter.

I just do it as an experiment and if I lose some weight-that is a bonus😬
I manage to lose 3.7-3.8kg doing atkins in 10 days-combine with 16:8 IF for 5 days. Will give 23:1 a try-maybe once a week now😁

Wish u all the best for 72 hours journey-salute your spirit👍🏻

U can get more if you do dry fasting (Double effect for weight loss) 24 hours you can see yourself shrinking tongue.gif

Anyhoo better do research first. For me waterfasting works best for me. From 84kg drop to 68kg 3 months plus. I think if i do frequenly dry fasting can easily cut half console.gif

Dry fasting is like torture for me. So stick with water fasting hehehe

For dry fasting 13 to 14 hours is normal. Need to do more than 16 hours (18 hours to be safe) to burn existing body fats.

Water fasting suits almost everyone so nothing special here tongue.gif . This Thursday (on 12.15pm after my eating window) my team and I doing for 72 hours of water fasting. I think is a bout time to go beyond limit before coming raya tongue.gif

50kg? That is way tiny...! Will that be within your normal BMI? Cos I’m afraid you may fall sick due to extraordinarily low weight.

Done my research. Bmi normal weight towards under weight. Want to build my body from scratch. From there will increase my body fat step by step. Best of luck to me lol.

Finish my first 24 hours fasting today🥳Manage to jog 7.5km some more. Feels great and full with energy. Got another 2 days to go with 24 hours then go back to 18:6~upgrading from 16:8 last time😬

I think is about time for you to look into dry fasting (1 day dry fasting = 3 days water fasting). This is my weekly routine now once a week DF. Yesterday started my Keto Diet (Salad + protein) and my standand IF 24:1 OMAD. Also still have not do any exercise yet tongue.gif . Current weight 64kg.

i usually do 20:4. Now in plateau state gahhhhhhhh so annoying. maybe i should up the fasting to >24hrs or try combine with Keto.
*
Combine with Keto diet is a big yes (Half vege, quarter protein & quarter good fats).

Also time to look into OMAD as part of your new norm. Limit your eating time window say 15 to 30 minutes.

During fasting state do plain water only. Limit daily max 800ml or drink when ure thirsty only. If ure strong enough do Dry Fasting say 24 to 48 hours.

That's what i did and consistently down from 84kg to 62kg in 5 months without any single exercise.

Imagine if exercise tongue.gif

Good luck.

i already lost 14kg last year.. from 62kg to 48kg.
but post MCO+raya my weight went up to 53kg hahaha.
now try to lose it back but I'm stucked between 52-53kg for almost 2 months already

Limit your eating time window say 15 to 30 minutes>> how about ur calories? do u eat less than 1000 calories daily bcos the eating window is so short
During fasting state do plain water only. >> yaa I'm doing this
Limit daily max 800ml or drink when ure thirsty only. >> but not this. i drink almost 3L daily. i think better to drink more bcos if u drink less, ur body will retain the water and u have more water weight. No?
*
Is all about try n error. Whatever works for me might not works for you. All ive stated earlier works well for me.

Limit your eating time window say 15 to 30 minutes>> how about ur calories? do u eat less than 1000 calories daily bcos the eating window is so short
Calories between 800 to 1k. Plan ahead. (Half vege quater protein quater god fats) in smaller plate (Everyday for the pass 5 months) usually 15 minutes maybe less im done.

Limit daily max 800ml or drink when ure thirsty only. >> but not this. i drink almost 3L daily. i think better to drink more bcos if u drink less, ur body will retain the water and u have more water weight. No?
Maybe to you but for me 800ml or less its my daily water i consumed for the pass 6 months.

Result from 84kg dropped to 62kg today in 5 months time.

Maybe what you can do try to extend for fasting hours 48 or 72 mixed it with dry fasting as well.

But since youre 53kg tongue.gif no worries lah aiyo. What's your height btw ?

Just take it easy. Stress and no sleaping quality also can cause insulin to be trigged hence will kick you out from fat buring state. To start fat buring mode min 16 hours of fasting minumum.

What's your Break Fast eating pattern ? Fast food ? Rice ? Do you replace your rice with vegetable ? I suggest you look into Complex Carbs instead.
