Hi everyone,
I've just started to cut back on carbs and would like to focus a bit more on it the next month or so. I've gained a lot of weight over the past 2 years because of overeating and generally not being active - even though I have an annual gym membership! Skipping class too much...
My plan is that, for the next 5 weeks - until end of August - to go on a low carb diet LCHF style, and also do intermittent fasting 16:8. This might seem a bit aggressive but I've never been much of a breakfast person (except when holidaying). Also, make sure that I go to the gym at least two times a week - for yoga and spinning. Ideally 3-4 times a week!
So the diet idea for the next five weeks is to have 2 meals a day - lunch (12-1) and dinner (7-8), with no snacking in between if possible, and for breakfast only have black coffee.
I'm not setting myself a strict weight loss goal as I've no idea how my body will react to this, but would love to lose at least 3-4 kg, ideally 5-6 (sorry, can't think in lbs). I'm going to report my weight here every Saturday morning - tomorrow morning the start weight and with the final one Sat 31 August.
Anyone wants to join me? You don't have to do the same diet, but would be nice to have some buddies for the 5 weeks.
Thanks and good luck to all!
