About My Self
Being fat like forever, nuff said.

Diet History
As the fat guy I tried supplement, food replacement, pills, fat burner, low carb, eat 6 times a day, weight training and cardio. My lowest weight record in my life is 84.9kg and today gain back to 98kg again.

Plan
Season1
Going to try intermittent fasting, 12:12, 16:8, 20:4 & 23:1 mix depends on the situation.
Season 2
Mostly doing 20:4 and maybe eat 2 times on weekend.

Eating Plan [I'm not dieting but changing the pattern of eating]
Season 1
If doing 20:4 or 23:1 will be break my fast like 2 cup or rice, 2 pieces of chicken breast, omelet (3x eggs) and bowl of iceberg lettuce with big cup of Milo without sugar [roughly total of 1200-1300 calories in one sitting].
Can drink 0 calorie liquid like plain water, black coffee and tea during fasting period.
Season 2
Cook myself less fried food and more on curry, kurma, soup mostly chicken breast and sometimes mackerel in a tin with curry. Exp meal 1 cup of rice, 1 chicken breast, 1 cup of veggie and some sambal belacan.

Why I'm doing IF?

Because I eat like Goku and still losing weight, save money on food/supplement and have more time [less food preparation time and eat break time].

Physical Activity

Wake up, go to work, went home, cook, eat and sleep.
Other activity, still thinking about it.

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.

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.

Yeah I have been thinking to apply IF for the rest of my life because I like it very much, it suite me.

I have bathroom scale in my room but will not weight myself so often because it's feel like open a trade on forex/stock market and keep looking at the number cry.gif

But I have problem while doing IF, I'm rarely poop icon_question.gif it's like every 2 days, is that normal or i need to drink something to force it out?

Yep 1kg per week is too much because I know the logical weight loss per week it's like 500g or less. I just set it higher for aim better result next week maybe play a little micro in my meal tongue.gif

Thanks Npad, your journal is quite good too thumbsup.gif

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.

I drank some tea call Natural Clenx Tea and poop all the time next day rclxub.gif

I think there's component in tea that trigger your digestion system to get you poop...I can't really recall but I guess caffeine in tea do their part as well

and never, never ever skip meals even you are doing IF.

physical activities, at first just get yourself walk more, do more physical activities. then slowly observe your surrounding and get more idea how to do more exercise.

e.g office got stairs - if need to go at other level just use stairs, etc etc

I think I'm ok with that poop problem for now.

How can I skip meals, mostly I only eat once a day biggrin.gif

I thinking about weight training 3 times a week now, maybe yes maybe no. I'm working on a night shift hard to schedule my time but that not an excuse right.

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.

QUOTE(LEVIATHAN @ Feb 18 2017, 09:22 AM)
Yes. I lost 25+ kg in 6 months. 10 kg in the first month—exactly! That's water weight.

And I keep it in narrow range of plus minus 5 kg for two years since. This is a long game bud. NO SHORTCUTS.

But then if you want to lose weight just for your wedding or reunion or short term, try protein-sparing modified fast.

Start reading some book(let)s. Try Lyle McDonald's.

I have been research/learning about water weight after my last replied.

So you say my last couple meals of last week exp kfc coke (because of sodium) etc etc make me hold water weight even in that day I'm on a calories deficit right? And i keep drank black coffee all the time, to be honest I hardly drink plain water and maybe I'm not dehydrate enough right.

Thank you so much for this info bafukie, I'm learning new stuff here.
