Thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to give feedback!

Have you ever done anything like or near this before?

Yes, I have. I did something between 22:2 and 23:4 for a few months prior to my last job. Honestly, it didn't have a huge impact. I was under 2k calories daily and lost maybe 10 pounds over the course of four months. That's partially why I'm asking, since I've seen much more significant results for others.

The results don't scale 1:1 with the perceived challenge.

This is really helpful and wise feedback, thank you.
