    OK, I'll throw this out there. I had lost 40 lbs and was stalled at 200lbs. I went to a dietitian who told me to eat 1800 calories a day, but have 2 days a week of 800 cal fasting days with 5 60 minute HIIT workouts a week.

    It did seem to help, for a bit, but then I stalled again. So I don't know.

    If any “trainer” or “coach” belched out a suggestion of five HIIT workouts a week, that would be the last time they’d have my ears in a fitness discussion.

    Did the OP ever come back to clarify what kind of fasting she was interested in? There are so many kinds and I'd hate to overwhelm anyone with advice that doesn't match their specific needs.

    Yep. Card carrying. And yeah, HIIT is in the eye of the doer. ;)

    Pro tip: Don't.
