    Have you entered your goals and stats into the website and gotten a calorie goal? You can eat what you're eating now -- you just need to eat at a deficit.

    Yeah, things like Herbalife don't do a great job of showing you how to maintain your weight loss.

    But once you know how to count calories and balance your calorie consumption with your lifestyle, it's a skill you can use for life.

    Give it a try -- enter your stats and goals into MFP, get a calorie goal, and begin logging your foods.

    Not at all necessary, and I say this as someone who is currently doing intermittent fasting.

    How long have you been on this intermittent fasting? I just started 3 days ago and I really want to know how effective this diet is.

    I found the hard way that there's no miracle cure. Trying all of those I slowly ate my way up to well above 110kg. I started using MFP somewhere around 104kg and managed to get down to 96kg now (without hurting myself), with roughly another 30kg to lose.

    You'll find a lot of helpful information in this post Quite a lot of them have helped me understand why I kept on failing and how to start succeeding in getting rid of the excess weight.

    Good luck to you!

    Intermittent fasting is not a diet. It is a way to control hunger for me. It is still about CICO. IF can be personalized to your time schedule, switched up and adjusted as needed. I really like to eat all my calories late afternoon and evenings. It is not for everyone but for me it works great! I hope you find it works for you as well.

    You're eating more than you think. You're clearly not weighing your food.

    You have only logged your food for two days? It is hard to really tell if you were at a calorie deficit if you did not log /log accurately.

    Are you weighing your food? If you are not weighing your food , you may actually be consuming more calories than you think.

    How are you getting your exercise calories? They seem extremely high!

    Accurate logging is key to have success as others have already said, you need to weigh your food...
    otherwise you will have no idea of how much you're really eating.

    To lose weight, you've got to get into a calorie deficit. It's much easier to do this if you log accurate -- a scale can help with this. You have some measurements that look very suspect (like exactly 100 grams of several fruits) and some that are virtually impossible (1 gram of pizza).
