** I'm actually going to post daily updates on here of what I've eaten and drank and the progress I'm making in an attempt to almost shame myself into a better routine. Feel free to make suggestions or even just tell me what a fat knacker I am. If you don't like the thread being routinely bumped you can just ignore it. Or better yet, join in! **
There's a thread on the other forum but I thought I'd post here to see some other opinions.
Basically I'm looking at starting this but I'm unsure what would be the best option for me. Does anyone have any experience of it? What did you choose? What did you encounter and how did you overcome it? Results?
Also open to any suggestions for cheats and tips and any easy healthy meals people would recommend.
I used to play 3 games of football a week and be pretty athletic but have some issues with my hips, a few days to a week of pain after running.
I'm not really looking to change what I eat but see the impact of fasting when combined with my usual diet.
I'm younger than most on here would expect, 6 foot tall and weighing in at 15.5 stone at the moment although I do carry it well and don't look 'fat' I really would like to make a lasting change. I don't want to have to debate ordering an XXL t-shirt anymore or having 36" trousers that are still tight.
Admittedly I am partial to a beer and drink very casually, especially since lockdown began.
When I was living in Vietnam I was about 1.5 stone lighter purely due to lifestyle, despite drinking a lot still the local food seems to provide a balanced diet and doesn't promote weight gain.
Where would you recommend starting with intermittent fasting? Is there a guide that you encountered and found useful? Are some better to start with than others?
Loads of info online but it's information overload and full of promotion.
