I personally don't understand the idea behind 16/8...isn't that just a normal day? If you sleep for 8 hours, aren't you not eating during that time anyways?
IIRC it's 16 hours fasting and then eating meals during the remaining 8. Anyone want to confirm/deny?
Confirm.
I do 18 fasting 6 eating most days. Some days 16/8. Whenever I get hungry for breakfast.
However, it's not a magic bullet. It just works with my natural appetite pattern. I didn't know it was a "thing" until I came here.
True. I guess I sort of unintentionally do this too. I typically eat between 11am-7pm, so I guess I could fall into that?0 -

That too. (I have no idea what exactly either of those are so I say nothing on those
)
5/3/1 was built as a peaking program for powerlifters or people who have elite lifting stats.
5x5 is a basic strength program.
There's also a beginner's variation made by Wendler. It goes 5/3/1 progression of the lift of the day, then 3x5 of the lift you do in the workout after the next workout, then assistance. Works pretty well.
Good to know! I have only followed a strength program when working towards powerlifting meets. I don't enjoy them, so I follow hypertrophy routines usually.0 -

He didn't log at all for a month, then logged randomly for 10 days. IF isn't going to magically fix his problems.
Maybe he got confused and thought it was intermittent logging?

Nah, that ain't OP. He ain't gonna want to risk hurting dem knees. :laugh:0 -
Try monitoring your sleep - focus on averaging 1800 calories / day each week, and keep up exercise but make your primary goal a solid eight hours of sleep. It might start the loss again.
Otherwise, your body really likes the 230 number and it will happily defy physics to keep it.
Good luck!0 -

I'm guessing it's common to get lazy with logging, weighing, and sticking to the gym routines once you're in a normal weight range but still fatter than your personal goal. And it's just a little bit here and a little bit there that you can almost bullsh*t yourself.
You have to be more diligent to hit your deficit, people tell you that you look great, clothes look pretty good, and it's a drag to restrict for so long. That's certainly where my head has been now that I'm in the vanity 10-15 pound range of goal.
So long story short, suck it up and just do the work.
