Not sure how to post to direct comments but giving this a go - here I am and still reading with interest. Not sure why that would bother you even if I wasn't though?

Awesome thank you for this! If you can humour me one more time what are macros and micros that you mention here below? "Macro content probably doesn't matter much as long as you are meeting your micro requirements. A good start might be a 45/25/30 split or 40/25/35 but if you want to go for lower carb then drop carbs and…

I'm getting a bit lost in translation on this thread, perhaps as I'm new to all the lingo being used, but also there is so much knowledge and it seems also plenty of differing views too. So I have a few basic questions just to get things clear - I would really appreciate if someone could clarify a few things for me...…

For the sake of recent readers, the debate started from my original post and it wasn't actually about whether Intermittent Fasting works for some people to lose weight, as most of us seem to be agreeing on the 'can' but not necessarily on the 'how' of this. The question was whether it's true that if you fast for a long…

Crikey I love food and right now I'm imagining some New Zealand Vogels toast with lashings of butter, avocado and cheese on it or peanut butter and honey - so thats what I'm going to have in exactly 7 minutes - perhaps not that good for the calorie counting but hey it is the weekend :) Honestly though, I have been happy…

Thanks everyone - lots of interesting reading, discussions and debates here. I found not doing IF last weekend and having breakfast in the morning just made me hungry and want to eat all day, so more calories going in for sure. I'm just going to stick to IF this weekend as my body seems 'happier' following this regime.…

I took the weekend off Intermittent Fasting as a few people suggested and wow it was tough keeping the calories down!

I'm very inspired that many of you have lost such significant amounts from what you started at! Jumping in for first time from NZ, so I will convert kilograms to pounds.

Thank you. I'm only just starting to get awareness of what works for me - lets hope I can also turn that into sustainable habits. I love getting other opinions and perspectives on everything - being a Libran I'm always searching for the balance and other 'side' to what I read, so it was a really interesting read and I…

Wow EvgeniZyntx you have posted 24256 comments on this site.There you go - at least there's something in this world that can be measured and quantified. Are you qualified yourself to call James Clear's fasted state fat burning information mumbo jumbo? It was my understanding from reading a number of websites on the matter…

This is another website that is interesting http://www.marksdailyapple.com/fasting-weight-loss/ I wonder whether it's because I am 'fat-adapted' rather than existing on sugar that I can fast so easily. I have noticed now that when eating bread or a meal that is high in hidden sugars that I get really 'hangry' again within…

Thanks for that info and yes I've read a fair bit on that too and it seems its definitely not for everyone. I think younger woman and those able to have children would want to be careful for sure, but if it ages me in that way 10 years too soon, I don't think that would be the worse thing. It feels very natural and easy,…

PS Mike - you are 104.32Kgs and I am now 103.40kgs - you want to drop to the equivalent of 86kgs by April (which is good for a guy) and I would like to be in the low 70's - being tall and broad thats a good weight for me. So YES lets DO THIS!

Yay Mike thats great! Mine is also a wedding in April - jeepers too scared to think about fitting into a wedding dress right now but I'm feeling pretty determined :smile: And an190 you may be surprised at how your appetite decreases and you don't need that third meal and snacks. I find that if I also stick to the 1200…

Thanks, for your feedback. In regards to food being so available these days I totally agree - however my new mantra is "just because it's there doesn't mean I have to eat it!" You sound like you are a lot more motivated than me :smiley: Does eating healthily, with less calories than you burn and exercising regularly all…
