I am back. I have been eating low carb (<100gm) daily and fasting twice a week for 36 hours for 5 weeks now. For quite a number of years I have not eaten after about 5:30 p.m. I have lost 11.8# in 5 weeks. I am amazed. On my non fasting days, I don't keep track of intake and sometimes even eat quite a bit more carbs and occasional very dark chocolate.
When I was working on weight loss in the past, I could not lose weight unless I ate less than 1200 Kcal daily. I found that very difficult and never felt satisfied and never felt as though I could have any sort of treat for fear of falling off the wagon. I also didn't like keeping track of my intake.
With fasting I no longer pay attention to how much I am eating. Some days my eating stops well before 5 pm at 4 or 3. But I think that the fasting has made me more tolerant of not eating, not feeling that I had to put something in me to feel comfortable.
Anyway, just checking in. I don't know if I will keep posting but I just wanted to let you all know that I am still working on it.
Hang in there, Jean
