First 5 Days Success 4.6lbs Bodyfat Lost

PcShed

Hi everyone, I though I give my first update on my new venture. My main goal is to lose bodyfat and increase Lean Mass.

I started on Friday 3rd May, preparing for the Fast. My stats are as followed:

Weight:111.7kg - 245.7lbs

Fat:28.7% 70.5lbs

BMI:32.5%

Lean Mass:176.2lbs

After a final meal on Friday I startedmy fasting with a calorie controlled diet of 2500 calories per day, eating only 3 times a day at 1.00pm, 4.30pm and 8.00pm.

My nutrition breakdown per day is as followed:

Calories:2500

Protein:188g

Carbs:63g

Fat:167g

I fast from 8.00pm to 1.00pm (16 hours) and have a 8 hour eating window.

I train in fasted stated at 12.00pm before my first meal. The training is intense for 45mins to 60 mins as I am carb depleting at the moment for carb load up on Saturday 11th May at 12.00pm.

I am using several techniques, fasting, low carb nutrition and carb loading. I am trying to get my body to use fat as source of energy and minimise lean mass loss at the same time.

I will be measuring ketones on Sat 11 may on my urine.

Here are my new stats as follwed after 5 days:

Bodyweight: 110.5kg 243.1 lbs

Bodyfat: 27.3% 66.3lbs

Lean Mass: 176.7 lbs

BMI: 32.3

So I have decrease total body weight by 2.6 lbs, decrease bodyfat by 4.2 lbs and gained 0.6 lbs in lean mass.

I have been drinking 8-10 litres of water per day ( makes you go to the toilet every 30 minutes)

My passed background in training was strength training and heavy weight training, eating 7 times a day and high calories with focused on protein. I gained good progress in the passed but slow in losing body fat hence I am trying this method which totally going against my past experience.

So there you are, let me know what you think.

Many thanks

Sergio

The photo is impressive, but I am wondering, how does this differ from just not eating breakfast and lunch?

Most people already do fasting without even realising (when sleeping until their first meal) IF in a controlled manner both timing and nutrition value; it changes your body to use fats as source of energy, both intake and existing body fat. The key to success is to train fasted and have that first meal just after the workout. I am trying to enter in ketosis state but to do this I have to lower my carbs even lower.
Just started myself so still learning on how body is reacting.
Hope this helps.
