Dun weight yrself weekly, rather daily in the morning after toilet before drinking any water. That will be a more accurate estimation of your weight. At the end of the week, juz average out 7 days reading will do.

With regards to the type of IF, just go with what you are comfortable with as long as weekly (note: not daily) calorie intake are in a deficit. Usually people aim for 1 pound loss per week. ( equivalent to about 3500kcal) so fast away as long u hit those deficit.

I always prefer 16/8 IF as it allows me to hit my calorie target which is abt 2700kcal per day now.

Tat could be just water weight.... Diet down is a marathon, look way far ahead rather than the scale. And u need to track yr calories, without it u will fail eventually. And learn abt nutrition.

Ps: u can go kfc daily and still lose weight if u know yr daily calorie intake. Not tat I recommend to do so, but u need to know yr daily / weekly calorie intake.

The question is do u know what caused water weight in the first place?

Higher carb intake and high sodium fiid causes water retention which is very normal. U shud at least drink 3l of water everyday, not just during cutting which imo the cheapest easiest but yet so essential thing to do. It is good for general health as well. Like they say, drink more water to lose more water weight

Why not?
