The problem is that if you can't teach yourself the self-discipline required to lose the initial weight the proper way you'll probably just gain it back after losing it.

Thanks.

You just changed my mind and my habits with that single post, i can now start eating healthy and change my life for the better.

Because you posted with that reply I look at life differently and no longer need to try fasting in order to know for sure if it would work for me.

My self-discipline has now improved and you have inspired me to change on a personal level just like that.

I've seen guys post results after fasting, come on give me the good, fuck, i'll even take the bad, just don't tell me what i already know.

I'm just here for some reference.

Intermittent fasting is healthier and easier to stick to.

If you want to lose weight fast then choose a 6 to 8 hour window where you must eat all of your food. Like from noon to 7pm you can eat but outside of that time you can only drink water or black coffee.

Make the meals within that time healthy and try to workout before you eat or after you've finished eating for the day.

Making those meals low carb will accelerate the weight loss as well but expect to feel a little weak and light headed now and then. A water fast will make you feel weak and light headed too though.

i'm 5'8 and have gone from 230 lbs to 195lbs in roughly 2 months just by counting calories. this is not meme advice.

also, if you lose too much weight too quickly expect to get a lot of baggy skin that may be permanent.

>6-8 hour window.

That's not intermittent fasting homie that's just like a normal day. Intermittent fasting is like a one/two hour window.

All you have to do is eat what you normally eat but less of it and if you can't even do that you're never gonna make it.
>330 -> 180

You are absolutely fucking wrong. 6-8 hours is the standard.

>>41944407
Wrong.

Look up intermittent fasting.
It requires 16 or more hours of fasting everyday. Learn to math and you'll see that a 6-8 hour window is perfect timing. You can lower the time that you're allowed to eat but the less you eat the harder it is to follow.

The reason I and others will argue against doing a water fast or only eating within a 1 or 2 hour window is because that is a crash diet. Meaning that it may give you quick weight loss but it is 100% impossible to stick to it forever, so you have to stop the diet and go back to gaining weight again.

A permanent water fast will kill you if you never come off. Eating once a day will lead to a huge spike and plummet in blood sugar and you'll feel like shit for the majority of the day.,

Pick a 6-8 hour time and consume all of your calories within that time. It isn't some bullshit crash diet that would kill you if you stuck to it for longer than 3 months. I've been doing it for years and I've lost 78 pounds, kept it off, can now eat cake and shit within my eating window, and the muscle gainz just won't stop gainin'.

>For 5 weeks i have been hovering at this weight and have decided to try something a bit extreme in order to get past it.
Alright dude I've got the perfect solution for you: stop doing whatever the fuck you started doing 5 weeks ago. You either started underestimating your calorie intake or started telling yourself it was okay to eat some sort of food (probably junk/snack food), doesn't really matter what it was just knock it off. If you don't have the backbone to figure out what you've done wrong and own up to it you will never make it my man. Looking for "easy" solutions like a water fast is perma-lard mentality.

"Water fasting", aka starvation, is not fitness related and is not a valid method of healthy weight loss. It is literally just starvation. You are losing muscle mass.

Thread reported like all water fasting threads.

While I was pledging a frat I was eating like 2 meals a day, not a lot, and doing a lot of physical labor (mostly cardio-type stuff).

I lost like 20 pounds in 6 weeks.
