Hey all!
I was just after a bit of advice. I have completed the 8 weeks of 800 calories, successfully. I didn’t lose as much weight as I initially wanted, but I didn’t have a huge amount to lose anyway. I found it surprisingly easier than I thought it would be, although my bed times moved from 10:30pm to 8pm! Just so I couldn’t see the beckoning pantry!
Anyway, I’ve now been on pretty conservative maintenance for only 6 days or so, and I’ve put on just over 1kg. My maintenance has been extremely conservative, around 1000 calories a day and one fasting day. I am doing my first fasting day today.
The reason I wanted to create the forum, is because I’m so disheartened to see an increase on the scales even with 1000 calories a day ๐ This better not be the new normal – I would have just expected the weight loss to slow down, not increase!
Anyone in a similar situation, or would know what is happening here?
PS. Not diabetic – however diabetes runs in both sides of my family, hence why I’m doing this as a preventative.
