Gained 2 lbs since last week (3 more from lowest point in the week). My total cals for the week were a neg 4400 so I should loose a lb if I recorded accurate. The weight gain is mostly food weight. I will see after omad for 3 days. Was a good Thanksgiving feast, time to loose again. Seems like I retain more food weight when eating twice a day which I did most of this week. I also wasnt 7000 cals under maintenance, just 4400 under.

Already gone. Down from 223 on Sun morn to 220 Tues morn. Now for some progress!

I find myself browsing multiple foods during my eating window instead of eating multiple plates of the same thing. I am consciously and subconsciously am trying to make sure I get proper nutrition in.

I put the pics here.

WEEK 13 FASTING DIET

Start Weight/Height/Age/Start Date:
250 / 6'1" / 54 / 06 Sept 2015

Weekly Weight Loss:
7, 3, 3, 1, 3, (1), 5, 3, 2, 2, 1, (2), 4

Total Weight Loss:
31-lbs / 13-wks

Current Weight:
219

Goal Weight:
199, 20 to go

Diet Method:
Fast breakfast and lunch. Eat from around 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.. Take protien supplements and vitamins. Usually eat a fruit-yoghurt smoothie every day. Eat all food types and some junk allowed. Eat tell full (usually 1800 to 2400 cals is all I can eat since stomach shrinks). May cheat on Saturdays if very active or want a break. May eat a lunch with co-workers once a week or so.

This is by far the easiest diet I have tried. Once I eat, my stomach wants to be fed. Eating small meals or trying to skip a meal after I've started eating for the day is torture! Not eating at all, I don't get that hungry since the fasting acts like an appetite suppressant. I also get to eat tell full each day! I'm saving lots of money on lunches and don't have the afternoon crash or "need" to eat junk to keep me going in the afternoon (saving money there also).

Exercise:
3-4xweek either bike or walk for minimum of 60 min. I feel better than I have for a long time. I am recovering well. I have had no problem doing this amount of exercise while fasting.

General Comments:
I think benefits of the fasting (blood sugar regulation), not eating junk in afternoons, being diligent with vitamins/protein supplements, and drinking a lot of water during the day has made me feel a lot better. I actually feel like working out after work instead of feeling exhausted after work. I have energy into the evenings also which I didn't have much of before on my old routine (junk in the afternoons to get me to the end of the day).

Week's Comments:
Well I gained about 3 lbs thanksgiving week and lost 4 from the high this week. Gained some food weight from eating out last night and today I cheated since I allow that on Saturdays and felt I needed it today. I'm going to post the weeks lowest weight since I'm usually lighter midweek than end of week. It will show less ups and downs. I will still do weigh ins at end of week though or when I remember to fo it. I started lifting weights and I think it has slowed the weight loss a little. That should go away in a couple of weeks. I'm not lifting heavy so should be minimal muscle gain.

WEEK 15
This was a good week. Kept the diet Sun to Fri. Lost 2 lbs from last week's previous low (lost 4 lbs from Sunday since I usually gain 2 lbs of food weight by Sun from the week's low due to Fri night/Saturday eating).

This Fri night cals were very excessive since I splurged cause wife and I celebrated anniversary by going out and eating huge dinner. I will go off diet today. My week is from Sun morn to Sun morn but I usually eat more Fri night and Saturdays so my lighest weight is usually Fri morning. By Sun morn I've got an extra 2 lbs of food weight in me, by Tues it's gone, by Wed I'm down another lb due to Sun to Tues fasting. By Fri, I'm usually down about another lb.

I didn't do any cardio this week due to some lung congestion but did some weights.

I think I'm about better. I will start back up slowly on Monday. I did get weights in 3 times this week (not a lot) so that was good.
