16/8 fasting

Hi All,

Wondering about any of your experiences of this. I'm naturally slender but now, post lockdown, weigh in at 64.4 kilos and would like to be closer to 57, what I usually am at my slimmest. Height is 167cm, age 42.

So Mondays to Fridays I am doing 16/8 but probably it works out as 18/6 by the time I reach lunchtime. Been doing it for two weeks and lost a kilo - started at 65.6 kilos.

  1. Does that weightloss seem ok? Will it continue?
  2. At the weekends I have to repent because I enjoy lazy breakfasts with my family. But this weekend I've had nausea and headaches - do you think it's the change in eating routine?

Other info:

I probably eat about 1500 calories in my eating window, tops. I'm active, walk the dog a lot but don't jog or run or do cardio and I'm not very interested in starting it.

Wondered what your experiences were of this fasting.
