Hey man, I've been doing IF since forever by simply skipping breakfast, with quite a success. I can either bulk or cut, depending on my goals for that particular training block. So basically I do 16:8.

Buy a bathroom scale from Mr DIY and weigh yourself twice a day. Once when you wake up (shit beforehand if you can), and once in the evening before shower and dinner. Average it to see your weight loss trendline.

-1kg a week is rather steep, expect it to slow down maybe around week 6. -0.5kg is a much easier goal to achieve and more sustainable imo.

Anyhow, good luck and keep us updated. I'd like to see your result and progress.

I understand the feeling, but you gotta understand that your weight fluctuates throughout the day and throughout the week. I make sure I get a daily average and from there get a weekly average. If your weight is lower on average this week as compared to last week, then you'll know the amount you're eating is correct. If not, then lower a bit more. I guess I'm just very much data oriented, I feel more in control of my life if I have all the data from every aspect that I can control.

About the poop, well, normal is what's normal for you personally. I personally poop 7 times a day. My GF poops once a day. If you're not constipated, then it's okay. If you are you might need to add fiber in your diet. Psyllium husk is an easy and cheap way to add fiber to your diet. You can find them at any caring pharmacy.

Thanks for the compliment man. Like I said I like recording data, might as well make it fun and readable for other people.

Yo, is this what you're talking about?
