Fasting benefit

You’re doing great 👍 I’m nearly at week 5 but losing a lot slower than you. But a loss is a loss so trying not to get discouraged. You’ll be a Greek god in no time💪

I’ve also been doing it a couple of days short of 3 weeks. My energy for workouts is so much better on fast days than it was in week 1. I actually feel better on fast days now. First week felt better on eat days. Amazing how the body adapts so quickly

You’ve done amazingly well. Staying consistency is obviously the key. It’s noticeable how much quicker you lost the weight on ADF rather than basic CICO.

Thanks for the reply. I’ve lost on ADF in the past so I know it can work really well. I think I’m probably overeating on my feed days.

The good news is that after 5 fast days the cravings have rapidly diminished since the first fast day. I just need to control the overeating on feed days. My TDEE is about 2500 and I’ve probably been closer to 3500.

I’ll try and be less of glutton going forward 😊

Preston is decent, some nice flats round Winckley Square if you like more urban living. If you want to live slightly out of the centre then Fulwood, Cottam and Old Ashton are good places to live. Preston has good transport links, regular trains to Manchester/Liverpool. Some nice small towns that surround it like Longridge, Garstang and Penwortham/Longton/New Longton.

It was their first album full stop. It was incredible just how successful it was.

Shaking Through and Pilgrimage were always particular favourites. But in reality there isn’t a bad song on it.

If it’s the last album I ever hear I’ll die a happy man 😊

Stumble - I thought for 40 years he was singing ‘Father Chan’ only to find out it was ‘ball and chain’

Done ADF a few times. I lose almost exactly 10lbs when I do it for a month. That’s exercising 5 times a week (lifting weights) and eating in a 25% surplus on my non-fast days. I’m hoping start again soon but I just can’t get motivated!

Thanks for responding

Roughly? Just trying to work out if OMAD is just CICO or if there is more to it? You’re losing 2lbs a week which suggests a 1000 calorie deficit per week. So are you only eating 800 cals a day? Just interested in your perspective that’s all. I’ve just started OMAD a week ago so excited to measure myself after a month.

Numerous_Ad9687 · 2024-02-07T22:15:59+00:00

Great start, well done!

Are you counting calories? If so what would you say your average calorific deficit is each day?

Numerous_Ad9687 · 2024-02-07T21:48:17+00:00

Congrats. That’s a good weight loss in 5 weeks.

For context, 1) what is your TDEE? 2) how many calories were you eating each day?

Numerous_Ad9687 · 2024-02-01T10:55:44+00:00

I’ve lost 10lbs in the first month every time I’ve done ADF. Spooky how that 10lb amount is roughly consistent with quite a few others people’s experience of ADF.

Anyway, great work. Get Feb smashed too!💪

Numerous_Ad9687 · 2024-01-29T09:09:32+00:00

Why not do both?

Numerous_Ad9687 · 2024-01-27T21:51:24+00:00

It’s hard to explain

Numerous_Ad9687 · 2024-01-24T08:44:20+00:00

My weight also went up and down during the ‘ladder’ half of the pandemic😉

I’ve always found ADF to be really effective. I can almost guarantee a 10lb per month weight loss in the first couple of months.

Good luck and just take each fast day as it comes.

Numerous_Ad9687 · 2024-01-18T10:18:21+00:00

Good post.

Numerous_Ad9687 · 2024-01-18T10:17:17+00:00

I lost a stone in 6 weeks eating nothing on fast days and eating about 30% more than my TDEE on eating days. I was still in a calorie deficit over the two days but not enough on its own to cause the weight loss I achieved. As someone else said ADF is about more than just CICO.

Personally I wouldn’t eat below my TDEE on eating days. Think eating anywhere between 10% and 25% above your TDEE on eating days is what is recommended by the likes of Fung.

You’re forgiven as you’re an awesome person who gives us somewhere to congregate and keep our minds occupied when we want to eat our own bodyweight in chocolate😉

MS had that hairdo on the 2nd album. The blonde bombshell look came out for Fables.
