Have been intermittent fasting for 30 days. Went from 176 to 165 lbs. Using calipers 19.8% to 15.5% body fat.

Target is 155 lbs, 10% body fat.

Doing the Wendler 5 / 3 /1 weight lifting program, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and commuting by bike to work.

I wish I had done this years ago. I feel freakin fabulous.

The Fast Five diet (Intermittent fasting) works for me.

    We're starting from roughly the same spot.. Congrats man. Down 7 lbs in 27 days here. Aiming for 160 and around 10-12% BF. I see no reason why you shouldn't be at your goal in about 2-3 months.

    What supplements are you taking, if any?

    I use whey isolate only on the heavy workout days. Like a day where I cycle home from work, roll at Jiu Jitsu and then do weights.

    Maybe 2 to 3 times a week. Otherwise nothing but a multi and fish oil.

    I plateau, drop, plateau, drop with no identifiable reasons for the stops and starts.
