Intermittent Fasting -6weeks to lose 10kg

MamaBear878 · 13/04/2024 08:43

Hi all! Never started a thread here and unsure if I'll have anyone joining me.
Have gained a whopping 25kg to reach 91kg post pregnancy (pregnancy added 10kg, was already very overweight beforehand!)
Planning to do IF for 20 hours with an eating window of 4 hours...(5pm till 9pm )
Also want to do some mild cardio...
Have a wedding in June whereby I want to lose 10-12 kg. I know this is likely unrealistic etc but want to see how it goes!!
Anyone want to join me?
Yesterday was my first fast :)

I am an experienced Faster.....I lost 10kg in 3 months in 2022 fasting between 18 hours to 24 hours daily, limited exercise and moderate carb :-) If you can reduce your carbs and light exercise, the weight will fall off

If you do too much exercise you will feel vey hungry and wouldnt be able to keep at it

Last night I started a 24 hour fast but I want to try and push it to tomorrow. I have restarted my weight loss on 30th of March at 103.25KG 2 weeks later I weigh 101.65Kg - no exercise yet, I start that today :-)

I am 43 and peri menopausal

Good luck I will be here wishing you well

Distract yourself when the cravings come and if you can hack some fiber, take 500mg Glucomannan to keep you feeling full

Good luck!!

Following this too. I've started fasting but I'm new to it. I've basically fallen in love with someone so my appetite has gone anyway so seems a perfect time to get some weight off

@Rennypie03 thanks for the helpful tips!! Will keep it mind!!
I find that I can last till about 3pm which is around 19 hours but really want to push it and do 20 hour fasts!
Glad to hear your weight is coming off! We have got this!!
